Icouldn’t be more delighted to welcome you to this landmark issue of DIVA – our 300th! Since we first hit the newsstands back in 1994, the landscape for LGBTQI people here in the UK has changed dramatically – and mostly for the better. We’ve seen the despised and hateful Section 28 consigned to the dustbin of history, the introduction of civil partnerships, which eventually evolved into same-sex marriage, the lifting of the ban on gay and lesbian military personnel, a political landscape where the election of an LGBTQI MP barely raises an eyebrow, and out and proud LGBTQI people rising to prominence in the arts, business and the media.
