Over the last forty years, the international system of asylum has expanded to include the queer and trans displaced. At least thirty-seven states accept LGBTIQ refugees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, with some countries providing specialized support. And yet, despite this expansion, there is growing backlash against refugee protection as well as the hard-earned rights of LGBTIQ people. While the refugee regime has expanded, the reality of global protection remains exclusionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Way Out\u003c\/em\u003e displays the multifaceted character of displacement for queer and trans people around the world.
