Summary

"This dissertation examines how the citizenship of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered (LGBT) people can be extended in ways that allow LGBT people to enjoy substantive citizenship. My study focuses on Canadian citizenship and how the boundaries of this citizenship regime can be challenged to include groups who, despite being endowed with legal citizenship, remain outside the realm of substantive citizenship."--Page iii.
