People should never have been criminalised because of their sexuality.
Some people are still living with convictions from laws that unfairly targeted them, including past laws used to punish homosexuality.
If this happened to you, you may be able to have the conviction removed from your criminal record through expungement.
The process is free, confidential, and done without going to court.

The Department of Justice and Community Safety runs the expungement process.
