Queering the Domestic

Contributors to this special issue investigate how spaces and practices of “home” structure and challenge norms of intimate and collective belonging as they play out in everyday life. Asking what it means to queer or reinvent the domestic by examining the diverse functionings of home for LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized groups in both the past and the present, the authors describe historical and contemporary shifts in the meanings of home as an opportunity to rethink domestic spaces, ideologies, and practices in queer politics and culture.
