Racialized LGBTIQ+ people suffer from multiple discriminations. They are more affected by precariousness, difficulties in accessing housing and employment, overcriminalization, harassment and violence. Public policies tend to approach discrimination by categories: fight against racism and discrimination based on origins, on the one hand, fight against homophobia and transphobia on the other. People who find themselves at the intersection of systems of oppression and their specific needs are thus more easily ignored.

The 2024 edition of LGBTIQ+ History Month of the City of Geneva proposed a meeting with Fabrice Nguena, born in Switzerland to Cameroonian parents, now living in Canada and author of the book « AfroQueer ». This event will serve as the start of a new program for Afro-descendants LGBTIQ+ people.
