Summary/Abstract: The article proposes and tests a methodological solution for investigating the political interests of LGBTQIA+ people living in Romania through the semi-structured oral interview method. The approach, although not reaching the standards of a statistical research method, provides valuable information about LGBTQIA+ issues in Romania. The study is based on 22 interviews and highlights information about the respondents' life experiences, as well as queer people's knowledge of and interaction with pro-LGBTQIA+ civil society. The central objective of investigating political interests is achieved by constructing an LGBTQIA+ political interest index and ranking these interests.
