Alienation, Resilience and Separatism – Ethnic Minority Non-Heterosexuals in LGBTQ+ Spaces

This poster reports results from an exploratory qualitative study on 25 ethnic minority non-heterosexuals and their experiences within different Swedish LGBTQ+ spaces. A thematic analysis resulted in three main themes: “Ingrained Ideals”, “Revealing sites” and “Sadness and separatism”, demonstrating experiences of discriminatory intersecting ideals, alienation, exotification, misrepresentation, resilience and separatism.
