This paper analyses the intersection between sexual orientation and displacement in Uganda, focusing on LGBTQIA+ community members who are IDPs. We argue that the 'internal othering' of LGBTQIA+ individuals in Uganda has ultimately made them more susceptible, and yet 'too poor', to becoming IDP.
This paper analyses the impact of the intersection between sexual orientation and displacement in Uganda, focusing on LGBTQIA+ community members who are Internally Displaced Persons (IDP). Using McCall's three dimensions of the intersectional approach (anticategory, intercategory and intracategory), we argue that the 'internal othering' of LGBTQIA+ individuals in Uganda has ultimately made these individuals more susceptible, and yet 'too poor', to becoming IDP. To examine the lack of protection that homophobia in Uganda renders to LGBTQIA+ individuals, especially IDPs, we analyse the impact of the pandemic outbreak and its restrictions orders and how these were used to target shelters that serve LGBTQIA+ community members in Uganda, while examining historical developments which have contributed to the 'internal othering' of LGBTQIA+ individuals' human rights and ability to seek refuge from persecution.
