Queering Traditions, Decolonizing Queerness: A Literature Review of Queer Worldmaking Tradition Bearers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For many diasporic queer people of colour, participating in cultural traditions may mean erasing or suppressing their nonheteronormative identities. Similarly, participating in mainstream queer culture may mean erasing or suppressing ethnic, religious, racial, or cultural heritage. This borderlands existence often evokes intense pain but can also compel great creative agency. Stirred to explore this dual reality, I created a literature review of queer cultural, ethnic, and religious rituals. Conducted in English language and drawing on academic and nonacademic data, this review includes African, Caribbean, Central and South American, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Turtle Island First Nations, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities throughout the world. I used thematic analysis to derive 7 sources of energy that ignited and sustained the messy processes of queer ritual innovation. This MRP aims to equip queer people of colour with the knowledge of a worldwide legacy in honoring one’s full, multifaceted identity through ritual-making.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
