| Popis: | Thesis advisor: Zine Magubane Considering the extent and nature of violence against LGBTQ+ communities and communities of color in the United States, this paper assesses the significance of the "protected" status of populations under the United Nations' genocide policy. Despite the fact that people of color are considered a "protected" group and LGBTQ+ persons are not, this study explores how a structural foundation of co-dependent capitalism and colonialism target both populations similarly. The author considers the extent to which violence against both populations meets criteria for genocidal risk factors and definitions, suggesting a case for concern for the unprotected status of queer folks and the state of violence against people of color today.
