Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter explores arguments about the causal relationships between the state architectures of federalism and LGBTQ social movements by focusing on the intersection between federalism and the role of courts in activism and policy-making. I identify three dynamics on the diffusion of LGBTQ rights policies across federal and provincial jurisdictions: 1) cases in which litigation led to the diffusion of common policies across jurisdictions; 2) cases in which the litigation stalled and lack of political will led to policy stagnation; and 3) cases in which litigation outcomes did not produce policy consistency across the provinces because of the way in which provinces exercised their jurisdiction. For each of these dynamics, several illustrative cases are identified. The analysis shows the importance of litigation in conditioning the effect of federalism as well as the importance of the partisan commitments of governments in facilitating policy change.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
