Fewer LGBTQ2S+ people hold positions of political power in Canada, and those who do represent a narrower range of political perspectives, according to research by @qalbaugh.bsky.social and @kebaisley.bsky.social.

Research article entitled "Gender and LGBT Affinity: The Case of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne" by Quinn M. Albaugh and Elizabeth Baisley. Abstract: "When a party selects an out lesbian as its leader, do women and LGBT people evaluate that leader more positively? And do they become more likely to vote for that party? We answer these questions using the case of Kathleen Wynne, premier of Ontario, Canada, from 2013 to 2018. We draw on four large-sample surveys conducted by Ipsos before and after the 2011 and 2014 Ontario elections. We compare shifts in best premier choice and vote choice among non-LGBT men, non-LGBT women, LGBT men, and LGBT women from 2011 to 2014. We find gender and LGBT affinity in leader evaluations. However, we find that only non-LGBT women and LGBT men were more likely to vote Liberal after Wynne became leader. This article contributes to research on affinity by examining LGBT affinity in a real-world election and the intersection of gender and LGBT affinity."

In recent research with @qalbaugh.bsky.social, we use a survey experiment to explore how gender stereotypes shape voters' perceptions of transgender and nonbinary candidates' traits. The results are not the most encouraging, but you can read more here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Ipsos has just released their PRIDE REPORT.

What the data tell in several aspects: Male members of GEN Z are in some regards more illiberal than the Baby Boomers. Additionally, we see a clear regress (!) in favouring LGBTQ* rights!

Numbers of openly #LGBTQ* on rise!

It was great to attend my 30th straight Canadian Political Science Association annual conference last week and deliver my presidential address. I was especially happy to be unconventionally introduced by @mcloutier.bsky.social with a quiz for the crowd on "how well do you know Malloy and the CPSA?"

In recent work with @qalbaugh.bsky.social, we find that in 2019 and 2021 parties nominated LGBTQ2S+ candidates in districts they were over 16 percentage points less likely to win than straight cis candidates. About 2/3 of the gap is due to which parties and 1/3 is due to which districts.

We propose "LGBTQ+ linked fate" to explain the consistent political behavior of the LGBTQ+ community despite its internal diversity

We use a sample of ∼2,000 LGBTQ+ Americans from CMPS

Our new report finds half of Black LGBTQ employees in the U.S. have faced discrimination or harassment at work due to their LGBTQ status. About 60% of Black LGBTQ workers are under age 35, identify as bisexual, and make less than $50,000 a year. Read more at bit.ly/Blackworkers

Trump's Project 2025 included 18 specific anti-LGBTQ policy proposals.

10/18 have already been implemented and we're only a month into this.

Really impressive (if depressing) work from the folks at the Project 2025 Tracker

Yet every year at EPSA one senior faculty asks me something like “why do you still need an LGBTQ group?”
This kind of marginalization reproduces itself. With less visibility and prestige, new PhDs won‘t focus on these issues, faculty positons won‘t include this profile, teaching will ignore it.

Important piece by @jennpiscopo.bsky.social on gender research in political science’s ‘top’ 6 journals, 2017-2023. The findings for LGBTIQ research are particularly dire, coming in at only .55% (16 of 2,892 items); and less when considering full research articles.
