Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

As 2017 comes to a close, the status of LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer) individuals in the Western world remains dynamic and varied. Outside observers may see news regarding the right to same-sex marriage being granted in Australia or the election of transgender legislators in the U.S. and think that LGBTIQ people have all that they need and no longer suffer the injustices and violence that once dominated headlines. But they would be remiss, and predicated on a view from the global North. In other words, much significant progress has been made, but the world is still not an equitable or equally safe place for LGBTIQ people.
