Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In April 1984, Customs and Excise raided the gay and lesbian bookshop Gay’s the Word. In the raid hundreds of books were seized, on the allegation that they were obscene. This set off an important public and legal battle around gay and lesbian rights. Gay’s the Word rallied public support to oppose Customs and Excise and insist that works dealing with gay and lesbian subjects were not obscene. Against this, Customs and Excise relied upon arguments that make clear the tight boundaries around gay and lesbian culture. This chapter is an exploration of gay and lesbian rights and the policing of sexuality.

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.
