Lesbian and gay citizens today enjoy a much broader array of
rights and obligations and a greater ability to live their lives
openly in both the U.S. and Canada. However, while human rights
protections have been exponentially expanded in Canada over the
last twenty years, even basic protections in areas such as
employment discrimination are still unavailable to many in the
United States. This book examines why these similar societies have
produced such divergent policy outcomes, focusing on how
differences between the political institutions of the U.S. and
Canada have shaped the terrain of social movement and
counter-movement mobilization. It analyzes cross-national variance
in public policies toward lesbians and gay men, especially in the
areas of the decriminalization of sodomy, the passage of
anti-discrimination laws, and the enactment of measures to
recognize same-sex relationships.
