Abstract

The field of LGBTQ+ Studies has experienced significant growth and diversification over the past few decades, with queer theory playing a pivotal role in this expansion. This paper examines the intersection of queer theory and LGBTQ+ Studies within a global context, aiming to explore the variations and intersections of these disciplines across different cultures and societies. By drawing upon a range of theoretical frameworks and empirical research, this analysis reveals the ways in which queer theory has influenced and been influenced by local LGBTQ+ movements and cultural norms. The paper discusses the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide, the role of globalization in shaping LGBTQ+ rights and identities, and the potential for intersectional approaches to address these issues. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of acknowledging and integrating diverse perspectives within the study of queer theory and LGBTQ+ Studies, emphasizing the necessity of a global dialogue to address the complexities of sexual and gender diversity.
