Bisexuality, (non)religion and spirituality in Canadian young adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using data from a mixed-methods study of sex, gender and religion in young adults in Canada, we examine the identity constructions and negotiations of our self-identified bisexual respondents, especially in relation to their (non)religious/spiritual identities. Bisexual respondents from the Religion, Gender and Sexuality among Youth in Canada (RGSY) project demonstrate complex intersections of identities as experienced by individuals and groups marginalized at times both within sexual minority communities and within larger social and cultural spheres. This chapter explores how bisexuality is related to other constructions of sexual identity, as compared with the full cohort of respondents on the project. The experiences of bisexual (non)religious and spiritual young people reside at the margins; their experiences are largely misunderstood and the prescriptive social expectations placed on all young people overlook individuals whose sexuality is seen at times both as normative (when in heterosexual relationships) and non-normative (when in same-sex relationships). Young people’s sexual and religious identities are a rapidly expanding research area; this chapter contributes to this growing body of knowledge by considering the ways bisexual young people in the RGSY project understand, negotiate and construct their sexual identity in relation to other identity markers.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
