Abstract
AbstractThe refugee crisis has brought to the fore conversations on ‘asylum-seekers’ and ‘refugees’, terms that suggest a linear progression through the legal system and risk over-simplifying migration patterns. This chapter seeks to contribute to research on queer asylum policy by focusing on how LGBTQ+ forced migrants’ precarious and traumatic experiences of arrival and settlement in Wales raise questions around otherness, belonging, community, expression of sexual orientation and gender identities.
