Option 1: LGBTQ+ Migration

 * Section Overview
 * Our section will focus on intercultural LGBTQ+ Communication. We will include information about LGBTQ+ communication across different cultures and ethnicities, and migration of LGBTQ+ people. This article will explore LGBTQ+ communication across the world, not just America. :
 * Topic Focus
 * One topic of peer reviewed research I will include in this section is the impact forced or chosen migration due to being a part of the LGBTQ+ community has on individuals. This topic is important to include because seeking safety due to a non accepting environment already takes a toll on an individual, it is important to highlight how coming to a new country and being isolated due to language or cultural barriers can impact a person. :
 * Sources
 * For this article i would like to include Gottvall, Brunell, Eldebo, Metso, Jirwe, Carlsson (2022) because they discuss the psychological impact of LGBTQ+ individuals being forced into migration. It is also important to include because it discusses the discrimination both socially and legally of LGBTQ+ people in other countries.
 * Potential Current Wiki Articles
 * I would recommend we link to the Migration studies main page because it is important to discuss all reasons and types of migration to truly understand why people choose to migrate. I believe that many people think that migration is due to better monetary opportunities elsewhere, but in this case migration is due to discrimination which is important to discuss. :

Option 2: Queer Immigrants In the US

 * Section overview: See in option one
 * Topic Focus
 * In this article I would focus on the lives of queer immigrants living in the United States. This article will discuss the intersectional properties of being both undocumented in the US and a part of the LGBTQ+ community and how those roles impact individuals. :
 * Sources:
 * In this article I would include Cabas-Mijeres (2023) because they discuss the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of immigrants and the queer community. They also discuss how undocumented queer individuals face intersectional backlash from society. This article would be good to include because it focuses on queer immigrants in the united states specifically.
 * Potential Current Wiki articles
 * I would recommend we link to Immigration to the United States because it is important to include all demographics when discussing immigration and how different demographics of people experience immigration differently. It is also important to look at the different treatment of undocumented individuals based on their sexual identity. :

Option 3: Queer Existence in Nigeria

 * See option one
 * Topic Focus: This article would focus on the experience of LGBTQ+ individuals living in Nigeria. It would discuss the differences of the queer experience in the US and Nigeria and highlight the different laws protecting or criminalizing same sex relationships.
 * Sources
 * In this article I would include Adegbola (2022) because this article highlights the way LGBTQ+ people in Nigeria are viewed by the public and queer misrepresentation in Nigerian media. This article includes information on Nigeria's "anti gay" law which is one of the topic focuses of this potential article.
 * Potential Current Wiki Articles
 * I would reccomend we link to LGBT rights by country or territory because the article would be highlighting the existence of LGBTQ+ individuals in Nigeria and the laws that exist around sexuality in Nigeria. It would be benifital to link to this wiki article because my article could expand on the experience of LGBTQ+ people in one specific country. :
