Pentridge Prison and LGBTQIA+ criminalisation

Location: Pentridge Prison, 1 Champ St, Coburg. Description: From the beginning of colonial times queer communities have been targeted, criminalised and imprisoned by the ongoing colonial state. In so-called Victoria there are countless examples of queer people and culture being criminalised, because queer culture has always been bound up with resistance.
