Tabitha Lean
Queer communities have rituals for coming out, but almost none for coming home from prison. For criminalised queer women - especially Aboriginal women - release is met with silence, stigma, and uncertainty. This essay examines why belonging becomes conditional, how criminalisation intersects with colonialism, and why true queer liberation must include those whose lives have been shaped by imprisonment.
