This record uses 2014 as the publication year because the compliant sharing record is dated August 2014, while the journal issue itself carries the label volume 15, number 1-2 (2013). The site keeps both details visible rather than flattening them into a false single date.

The article analyzes queer and transgender participation in Montreal Paganism through ritual performance, gender negotiation, and agency. It explicitly mobilizes queer and performance studies to show how ritualized gender enactments help organize belonging inside queer Pagan group life.

The circulated version identifies Lepage as a PhD candidate in the Departement de sciences des religions at UQAM. The publisher version remains paywalled, while an author-posted previous version is available through the outward archive.
