DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Queerburbia is a neologism coined as a counterargumen
 t to queer metronormativities. By bringing the queer and suburban into foc
 us\, it redirects attention to the less visible LGBTQ2S lives lived across
  the peripheries of metropolitan areas. Conceptually\, it seeks to alter N
 orth American suburbia’s iconic reputation for heterocisnormative erasure 
 and enrich the suburban studies “diversity paradigm” by integrating periph
 eral queer placemaking practices. This paper explores the queerburbia conc
 ept through an overview of a seven-year study of LGBTQ2S placemaking in se
 lected suburban municipalities on the peripheries of Canada’s largest citi
 es. Using placemaking as an analytical framework\, it considers how media 
 and statistical representations\, municipal and para-public inclusion prac
 tices\, and LGBTQ2S activism serve to make\, unmake and remake Canadian su
 burbs as queer.\n
