Abstract

Farmer introduces the main arguments of the book with recognition to some key contemporary issues for the progress of LGBT rights globally. Consideration is given to some of the main research areas linked to global LGBT politics and how the book contributes to this existing research. Farmer outlines the core argument of the book, that greater engagement with an intersectional and decolonial approach to transnational LGBT activism would help UK-based NGOs to more successfully navigate and challenge the coloniality that impacts LGBT people’s lives globally. The chapter concludes with a roadmap of the development of the book across the remaining chapters.
