Queering UK Refugee Law: Sexual Diversity and Asylum Administration

In the context of a global backlash against both migrant and LGBTIQA+ rights, this book critically examines the experiences of LGBTIQA+ people within the UK asylum system.

The book draws on interviews with refugees, legal practitioners and charity workers to analyse the systemic challenges faced by LGBTIQA+ people seeking asylum. By blending empirical data and critical theory, the text highlights the contradictions between the UK's purportedly LGBTIQA+ inclusive narratives and its treatment of sexually diverse refugees, offering insights for researchers, practitioners and policy makers on the pressures facing LGBTIQA+ people within the asylum system.
