1. For the more general character of the national security campaigns or the general social and historical context of these campaigns, see David Kimmel and Daniel J. Robinson, “The Queer Career of Homosexual Security Vetting in Cold War Canada,” in Canadian Historical Review 75,3 (September 1994), pp.319–45; Gary Kinsman, “‘Character Weaknesses’ and ‘Fruit Machines’: Towards an Analysis of the Anti- Homosexual Security Campaign in the Canadian Civil Service,” in Labour/Le Travail 35 (Spring 1995), pp.133–61; and Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile, with the assistance of Heidi McDonell and Mary Mahood-Greer, “‘In the Interests of the State’: The Anti-Gay, Anti-Lesbian National Security Campaign in Canada,” a preliminary research report, Laurentian University, Sudbury, April 1998. On the general social and historical context see Gary Kinsman, The Regulation of Desire: Homo and Hetero Sexualities, 2nd ed. (Montreal: Black Rose, 1996), especially pp.148–278. The emphasis on social construction throughout this chapter points to the importance of viewing all knowledge and social practices as being actively and socially created.
