Beyond The Mountain contributes to the body of knowledge on the lived experiences of LGBTQI communities in Cape Town. The book provides insight on the plight of the LGBTQI community, which has entrenched itself unashamedly in Cape Town and challenges the stereotypes and prejudices suffered by these communities. This book, which promotes the rights and protection of LGTBQI community, is a collection that historically, metaphorically and physically spans the city of Cape Town.

The chapters consist of narratives of lived experiences and academic discussions, presented by both novice and experienced scholars. The book revolves around four themes: education, emancipation, protection, acceptance and integration of LGBTQI people in society.
