Abstract
Progress on LGBTQ+ rights has been compared to a pendulum, with moves forward for a few years followed by retrenchment. Over the last hundred years, the pattern seems to coincide with fluctuations in the economy, with boom years accompanying advances in rights and recessions and depressions accompanying retreats. The current challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community appear to be an exception, with most economic indicators positive but popular perception being less optimistic. Accordingly, the theme of this issue’s main articles is ‘exceptions’.
