Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography
Abstract
This study explores why Foucault has become a culture hero for the gay movement by delving into the basis of his influence. It describes how Foucault's writings have been seized upon and turned to political account in gay/lesbian activism, arguing that Foucault's critique advances a radical brand of gay/lesbian politics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
