For my course on Conflict and Representation in the EU, I made an interactive Shiny app that plots CHES party positions, for all countries, years (1999-2024) and (most) dimensions in the dataset. Enjoy!

And it may seem like not a big deal. But while *you* are great people who accept queer kids, that's not as common as you'd hope.
New research shows only half of gay or lesbian people have parents who accept them.
Only 31% of trans people have parents that do.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Report’s author raises ‘stark concerns about barriers to academic freedom’
UK universities have failed to protect gender-critical academics from bullying and career-threatening restrictions on their research, according to a report.
The report, by Prof Alice Sullivan of University College London, recommends that students and staff “taking part in freedom-restricting harassment should face consequences commensurate with the seriousness of the offence”. Continue reading...

Asking for a bit of help for my research. Does someone here know a comprehensive database of anti-LGBTQ+ state bills in the US from around 2012? Especially if they categorise by State and status of the bill.
I was able to find some from 2020 but mostly reports and articles before that.
