Abstract
In July 1905, the incarcerated youths detained at Les Douaires, France, rebelled following a crackdown of the penal administration on homosexual relationships. This episode might be one of the earliest recorded queer riots in modern European history. After discussing its political economic context, the course of the mutiny is described in detail, alongside its meaning for the study of past sexualities. Re-interpreting this mutiny as an act of self-defense of the youth against a morbid environment, this paper draws parallels between this insubordination and later queer riots to hold that the fight for queer/trans liberation and the fight to end incarceration and policing have been historically tied. The paper ends by defending the necessity to re-anchor Western queer politics in anticolonialism and carceral abolitionism, against inclusion in the neoliberal project.

The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
