Multiculturalism in Canada is touted as an all-inclusive policy and practice that celebrates difference and welcomes diversity. In 2012, gays and lesbians were included in the Discover Canada document amongst various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups, marking such inclusion as foundational in Canada’s imagining of itself as tolerant and accepting. Despite these narratives of multicultural diversity, people of colour and Indigenous peoples continue to experience strife, violence, and erasure. This paper looks to the ways Canadian multiculturalism is utilized by queer and trans people as part of their understandings and imaginings of queer politics. In particular, it discusses the queer service sector and the ways queer and trans service providers do diversity and multiculturalism within their work. Findings highlight the complex ways in which queer and trans service providers utilize diversity as a tactic to create further exclusion and direct attention towards wanting, needing, and desiring diversity. The paper highlights the ways diversity is desired within the institutional walls of queer service provision and draws attention to the ways the whiteness and colonialism of the organizations themselves goes unquestioned and unexamined.

渴望多样性:白人定居者多元文化主义在酷儿组织中的局限性

加拿大的多元文化主义被吹捧为一种包容性的政策和实践,它庆祝差异并欢迎多样性。2012 年,《探索加拿大》文件将男女同性恋者纳入各种文化、种族和族裔群体中,标志着这种包容性是加拿大将自己想象为宽容和接受的基础。尽管有这些关于多元文化多样性的叙述,但有色人种和原住民继续经历冲突、暴力和抹杀。本文着眼于加拿大多元文化主义被酷儿和跨性别者用作他们对酷儿政治的理解和想象的一部分的方式。特别是,它讨论了酷儿服务部门以及酷儿和跨性别服务提供者在他们的工作中实现多样性和多元文化的方式。调查结果突出了酷儿和跨性别服务提供者利用多样性作为一种策略来制造进一步排斥和将注意力引向想要、需要和渴望多样性的复杂方式。这篇论文强调了在提供酷儿服务的制度围墙内需要多样性的方式,并提请注意组织本身的白人和殖民主义不受质疑和未经审查的方式。
