“…Human rights are limited to nation-states having functional governments, and if they can be granted, they can also be rescinded (and this is true also in WEIRD contexts); when they are achieved, they typically reward those who already hold the most privilege (Horne & Manalastas, 2020; Johnson, 2015). However, human rights advocacy is an important and viable path available to many countries, and may represent one of the best means to emancipation for LGBTQ people living in particular contexts or with respect to specific issues (Rubin & Flores, 2020). Nonetheless, a country’s adoption of rights legally or judicially does not always translate to LGBTQ people using them.…”

This article explores the influence of psychology developed in WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) contexts and its relationship to transnational lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) concerns. It covers several points associated with an LGBTQ movement forward fallacy, including the limitations of identitarian methods of analysis; presumption of visibility as a necessary aspect of LGBTQ emancipation; the centering of oppression narratives in LGBTQ international scholarship; the assumption of the relevance and desirability of WEIRD concepts; and the difficulties in applying human rights discourses to achieve LGBTQ emancipation. A transnational LGBTQ psychology that honors the authentic lives of LGBTQ people and decolonizes and dismantles context-specific homophobia/transphobia-related stigma is discussed. Finally, the promising directions of transnational LGBTQ psychology through research directions, networking, and advocacy are described. Public Significance StatementThis article suggests that there are ways that psychology, with its origins primarily in Western and industrialized countries, is thought to influence and sometimes limit how we understand lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) transnational experiences. International LGBTQ concerns are complex and often impacted by regional, political, and cultural factors, and this article discusses variations in LGBTQ rights around the world, and the ways psychology can unite globally to support LGBTQ emancipation.
