Abstract
This article analyses the urgency of intersectionality by studying the narratives of Azerbaijani LGBTQI+/queer individuals who have been facing multi-layered discrimination in Azerbaijan. Thanks to intersectional theory, through this article, by showing and analysing the narratives of queer individuals with various backgrounds, the article aims to contribute to this process of making academia and everyday queer lives a step closer to each other.
In this process, I ask 'how does intersectionality shape their lives? Furthermore, how can these experiences help us to understand the bigger picture of LGBTQI+/queer communities in Azerbaijan?
