Not in the Hardware Aisle, Please: Same-Sex Marriage, Anti-Gay Activism and <em>My Fabulous Gay Wedding</em>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
My Fabulous Gay Wedding was intended from its conception to be “a hot topic, a controversial topic, a topic filled with lots of opportunity for emotional moments.” This article traces a number of contemporary discourses around same-sex marriage that are illuminated, albeit not clarified, by responses to the show, including a boycott of Canadian Tire, a purported sponsor, by a number of right-wing, anti-gay groups. However, the questions the show raises exceed the media’s simplistic binary of “lesbian and gay rights” v. “religious rights” and involve interrogating what, exactly, is being represented on screen, and whether or not same-sex weddings interpellate lesbian and gay couples into a form of heteronormativity.\nRésumé\nMy Fabulous Gay Wedding [Mon merveilleux mariage gai] était conçu dès le départ pour être « un sujet chaud, un sujet de controverse, un sujet rempli de possibilités d’instants d’émotion ». Cet article esquisse un certain nombre de discours contemporains portant sur les mariages entre gens du même sexe qui se trouvent illuminés, quoique pas totalement clarifiés, par les réactions à cette émission, incluant un boycott de Canadian Tire, commanditaire présumé, par un certain nombre de groupes conservateurs anti-gais. Cependant, les questions que soulève cette émission dépassent la scission binaire simpliste des médias entre les « droits des gais et des lesbiennes » versus les « droits religieux » et implique que l’on s’interroge sur ce qui est représenté à l’écran exactement et si, oui ou non, les mariages entre gens du même sexe interpellent les couples de gais et de lesbiennes pour qu’ils entrent dans une forme d’hétéronormativité.

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.
