Description:
Reckoning with Queer History: The Canadian “LGBT Purge” Case and the Limits of Forgiveness
This talk examines the legal and historical legacy of the "LGBT Purge," during which LGBTQ2S+ members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and federal public service were dismissed between 1955 and 1992. Through legal history and queer theory, it explores the 2018 class-action settlement, its role in reconciliation and the challenges of addressing the lasting impacts of state-sanctioned discrimination.
