Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stephen Vider’s lively, creative, and impressively researched book, The Queerness of Home: Gender, Sexuality, and the Politics of Domesticity after World War II, offers a truly capacious meaning of domesticity, illuminating the place of the home within LGBTQ history and tracing a history of “domestic citizenship.” In so doing, he unfolds a “private counterhistory of LGBTQ politics” that ran alongside “more public forms of LGBTQ social and political activism,” not to mention a “queer counterhistory of American domesticity” (26). And he challenges both queer historians and theorists alike to think beyond a conflation of domesticity and homonormativity. Vider goes well beyond white middle-class domesticity and the nuclear family, though debates surrounding gay marriage are something of an animating force in the book. He begins with a chapter on the early postwar impetus toward gay marriage, showing how even terms like “husband” and “wife” could be taken up with a “wink of camp humor, playing with rather than reproducing the gendered scripts of heterosexual marriage” (34).

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.
