This article uses speculative fiction as a method for exploring the potentialities of queer abolition utopias. Abolition utopias aim to strike a balance of hope and need, offering innovative alternatives to prison while also addressing the current penal and social realities of marginalised groups. Queer abolition utopias, informed by the literature in queer criminology, centres the experiences of LGBTQ + people in these innovative alternatives. This article presents 3 pieces of short speculative fiction (1) Finding Harmony House, (2) Glasgow East Community Forum, (3) Our Long weekend at Leuchars Lodge. All 3 stories centre an LGBTQ + character(s) who are facing a particular challenge or challenges in their life, and how said alternatives might play a role in their moving forward.
本文运用推测性小说作为一种探索酷儿废除主义乌托邦可能性的方法。废除主义乌托邦旨在平衡希望与需求，在提供替代监狱的创新方案的同时，也应对边缘化群体当前面临的刑罚和社会现实。受酷儿犯罪学文献启发的酷儿废除主义乌托邦，将 LGBTQ+ 群体的经历置于这些创新方案的核心位置。本文呈现了三篇推测性短篇小说：（1）《寻找和谐之家》，（2）《格拉斯哥东部社区论坛》，（3）《我们在勒查斯小屋的漫长周末》。所有这三个故事都围绕着一个面临生活中特定挑战的 LGBTQ+ 角色，以及上述替代方案如何在他们前进的道路上发挥作用。
