This study explores the intersection of radical otherness and global solidarity, focusing on the LGBTQ+ community’s experiences. By examining the ways in which LGBTQ+ individuals and communities navigate marginalisation, outlawed identities and subaltern positions, we can better understand how global solidarity movements can incorporate and support diverse struggles for justice. Drawing on case studies and theoretical frameworks, this study aims to highlight the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression and the potential for unified resistance across different marginalised groups. Through such examination, the study aims to offer a more nuanced understanding of global solidarity, advocating for the recognition and integration of diverse marginalised voices. This work underscores the importance of continuous dialogue and collaboration among various disenfranchised communities to build a unified resistance against oppression and advance the cause of global justice and equality.
