Identifying LGBTQ2S+ candidates: Comparing three approaches
Gender Cues, Attributions and Stereotyping of Transgender and Nonbinary Politicians
Are LGBTQ+ Candidates Disadvantaged in Financing Their Campaigns? Evidence from Canadian Federal Elections, 2015–21
LGBTQ+ people remain underrepresented in politics, leading scholars to examine a variety of barriers to office. Based on work on women in politics, this paper focuses on one possible barrier: political finance. Is there a political financing gap between straight cisgender and LGBTQ+ candidates? Are there inequalities among LGBTQ+ candidates? If so, what explains them? This article explores these questions by combining a dataset of out LGBTQ+ cand…
A New Dataset Identifying LGBTQ2S+ Candidates in Canadian Federal Elections
This research note introduces a new publicly available dataset identifying which federal candidates are out as LGBTQ2S+. The dataset comprises 4,201 candidates who ran in 2015, 2019 and 2021 for the five parties that won seats in the House of Commons. In this research note, we describe the replicable procedure we followed to identify out LGBTQ2S+ candidates, which involved systematic individual candidate searches. This procedure identified 176 LG…
Wrong place or wrong party? LGBTQ2S+ candidates and district competitiveness
Institutional opportunities and party position change: The case of LGBTQ+ rights in Canada
How does the institutional context shape how much party position change on LGBTQ+ rights is attributable to conversion (i.e., incumbents changing their positions) versus replacement (i.e., legislative turnover)? Research on party position change on LGBTQ+ rights has focused on the US, meaning findings may be limited to a particular institutional context. Turning to the Canadian case, I find that party position change on LGBTQ+ rights was larger i…
Gender and LGBT Affinity: The Case of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne
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 n…
Gender and LGBT Affinity: The Case of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne – Corrigendum
Framing the Ghanaian LGBT rights debate: Competing Decolonisation and Human Rights Frames
This paper investigates how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights movements in Ghana, both anti and pro, framed the debate that captured media attention in 2006 and 2011. Decolonisation and human rights frames were appropriated, challenged, and dominated by opponents of LGBT rights, making it difficult for LGBT activists to use them. The opponents' corruption frame overpowered the LGBT activists' preservation frame. When LGBT acti…
Genocide and constructions of Hutu and Tutsi in radio propaganda
Radio propaganda clearly played a role in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 in which over a million people, mainly Tutsi, were killed. Foreign media and many commentators saw the propaganda as based on ethnic difference. Through an analysis of eighty-six Radio Rwanda and Radio-Télévision Libre des Milles Collines broadcasts, the author shows how reliance on one explanation - be it of ethnicity, politics, 'race' or occupation - falls short and oversimp…
Status-Differentiated Rights
This article defines status-differentiated rights and identifies examples from international principles, declarations, and conventions. Drawing on the work of Peter Jones and Will Kymlicka, status-differentiated rights are compared and contrasted to group and group-differentiated rights. Using Jack Donnelly's three-tiered scheme of substance-interpretation-implementation, the article also demonstrates how status-differentiated rights complicate t…
