As \u003cem\u003eQueer Mobilizations\u003c\/em\u003e shows, anti-discrimination legislation, the extension of benefits to same-sex couples, the right to marry, adoption rights, and the protection of gay-straight alliances in schools did not result from a single act nor from the work of a single organization but rather from the concerted efforts of many people, in many places, over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume examines the relationships between LGBTQ activists and local, provincial, and federal governments. The contributors explore how various governments have tried to regulate and repress LGBTQ movements, and how, in turn, queer activists have successfully shaped public policy, across the political spectrum, from city halls to the House of Commons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \/ \u003cem\u003eElise Chenier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \/ \u003cem\u003eManon Tremblay\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The National Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 LGBTQ Activism: The Pan-Canadian Political Space \/ \u003cem\u003eMiriam Smith\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 LGBTQ Issues as Indigenous Politics: Two-Spirit Mobilization in Canada \/ \u003cem\u003eJulie Depelteau and Dalie Giroux\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: The Regional Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Queer Advocacy in Ontario \/ \u003cem\u003eDavid Rayside\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Quebec and Sexual Diversity: From Repression to Citizenship? \/ \u003cem\u003eManon Tremblay\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Mobilization on the Periphery: LGBT Activism and Success in Atlantic Canada \/ \u003cem\u003eJoanna Everitt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 LGBT Movements in Western Canada: British Columbia \/ \u003cem\u003eBrian Burtch, Aynsley Pescitelli, and Rebecca Haskell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 \"Severely Queer\" in Western Canada: LGBT2Q Activism in Alberta \/ \u003cem\u003eAlexa DeGagne\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: The Municipal Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 From Contestation to Incorporation: LGBT Activism and Urban Politics in Montreal \/ \u003cem\u003eJulie Podmore\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Gay and Lesbian Political Mobilization in Urban Spaces: Toronto \/ \u003cem\u003eCatherine J.
