Abstract The author explores Queer theory into lesbian and bisexual college students' multiple identity perceptions, applying queer theory to provide a different analytical perspective on three participant’s developmental narrative, particularly regarding her experiences with sexuality, religion, gender, and social class. To explore, through case studies and review of literature, the specific challenges and successes of implementing inclusive education for lesbian and bisexual students of Kerala. This research employs a qualitative re-analysis approach, drawing upon Queer theory. This study will employ a mixed-method design, employing Sequential Exploratory research Design. The first stage will be synthesizing existing literature on inclusive education for lesbian and bisexual students, followed by three qualitative case studies exploring in-depth experiences within specific educational settings. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), a standardized instrument, will be used to evaluate and monitor participants' existing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The review of literature reveal a pattern of both direct and indirect discrimination experienced by lesbian and bisexual students, alongside a lack of consistently implemented inclusive policies. The case studies reveal various challenges faced by bisexual and lesbian women such as violence, lack of social support and discrimination in educational settings by peers and faculties. The study also highlights the importance of social workers as student counsellors in higher educational institutions.
