🏳️‍🌈 A pride month P&G article spotlight 🏳️‍🌈 In "Gender and LGBT Affinity" @qalbaugh.bsky.social‬ & @kebaisley.bsky.social‬ compare support for Kathleen Wynne, the first out LGBT first minister in 🇨🇦 , across voter gender and sexuality. polisky gendersky buff.ly/jq7c1z2

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/...

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.

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.

Blanchet and Singh calling for a non-confidence vote and elections definitely makes it sound like either there's an election shortly after the House returns in late January (with Trudeau as Liberal leader) or prorogation to allow the Liberals to select a new leader.
