a framework that understands the multiple aspects of an individual’s social and political identities, rather than focusing on them alone; that is, taking numerous factors to identify the numerous advantages and disadvantages that are experienced due to factors (such as sexual orientation, class, gender, ethnicity/race and education).

As such, an intersectional view of Queer identity takes into consideration both Queer sexual and gender identities, and the similarities, the differences how they may relate to one another (e.g. how they overlap).

Another example is intersectional feminism is a form of feminism which concerns itself with the equality and liberation of women with diverse identities (such as those from different backgrounds), rather than focusing on women as a homogeneous group.
