This article examines lesbian, gay bisexual, and trans (LGBT) experiences of displacement, home loss, and rebuilding in the face of natural disasters. LGBT vulnerability and resilience are little studied in disaster reserch; this article begins to fill this gap,fiocusing on LGBT domicide how LGBT homes are "unmade" in disasters. TO do this, we critically read a range of scholarly, and media commentaries on LGBT-experiences of naturildisasters in varioui"settings over 2004-12, including South Asic6he USA, Haiti, and Japan. Additionally, utilize preliminary data from pilot work on LGBT experiences of 2011 disasters in Brisbane, Australia, and Christchurch, New Zealand. We find that disaster impacts are the first stage of ongoing problems for sexual and gender minorities. Disaster impacts destroy LGBT residences and neighborhoods, but response and recovery strategies favor assistance for heterosexual nuclear families and elide the concerns and needs of LGBT survivors. Disaster impact, response, and recovery "unmakes" LGBT home and belonging, or inhibits homemaking, at multiple scales, from the residence to the neighborhood. We focus on three scales or sites: first, destruction of individual residences, and problems with displacement and rebuilding; second, concerns about privacy and discrimination for individuals and families in temporary shelters; and third, loss and rebuilding of LGBT neighborhoods and community infrastructure (e.g. leisure venues and organizational facilities).
