Friday’s workshop was a joy to host. ☺️
We brought together researchers and activists to talk about LGBTQ+ criminalization, discrimination at work and in parenting, dating bias, and how the far right weaponizes LGBTQ issues.
Grateful to everyone involved and to VU's VICES for the support. 🏳️🌈

¿Y las mujeres? Aunque suelen ser más selectivas al hacer swipe, no discriminan a votantes de Vox más que los hombres.
Es decir: la polarización ideológica entre chicas y chicos de la que tanto se habla... no se traduce en sus decisiones románticas.

Más de 2.000 personas en España y Reino Unido evaluaron 20.000 perfiles de citas generados con IA. Cada perfil variaba aleatoriamente en profesión, aficiones y partido político (incluido Vox). Queríamos ver cómo afecta eso a la atracción. 🧪💘

Acabamos de publicar un estudio en @thejop.bsky.social usando perfiles tipo Tinder en 🇬🇧 y 🇪🇸 para analizar cómo las identidades políticas afectan a nuestras decisiones románticas.
¿El hallazgo? Los votantes del PP prefieren salir con alguien de Vox mucho antes que con alguien del PSOE. 👀

A caveat to this finding: while certain initial anti-trans actions may be popular in the US context, it's the issue voters have disapproved of Trump on the most so far.

Look at how they have been replaced by Linke as the party of the female youth:

Women vote less for the far-right in virtually all elections.
*BUT* the narrative that far-right growth is driven primarily by men—while women move in the opposite direction—doesn’t seem to hold true (once again, recall the US and UK).

This stereotype isn't just held by far-right voters—it’s widespread, including among politically liberal citizens.
Also, there are no differences between LGBTQ+ and cisheterosexuals. All stereotype Muslims to the same degree.

Instead of asking directly (which triggers social desirability bias), we used a double-list experiment—a method that reveals implicit beliefs by randomizing whether a sensitive item (Muslims as a threat) appears in one of two lists.
The results?

A majority of citizens stereotype Muslims as inherently homophobic.

Anti-racist protests reduced AfD vote shares in both the 2021 German Election and the 2024 European Election.
While the Greens gained in 2021, *they didn’t in 2024*—likely due to their shift towards anti-immigration policies in government.
Important implications for progressive parties. More: 👇

Happy about what is (conditionally) coming with my dear friend @blancobosco.bsky.social. 🥰
In this new paper for @poqjournal.bsky.social we show that people aren't that 'sexually modern' in sexually modern contexts as many may think.
Stay tuned for the full story!

Algo alarmante que ha pasado desapercibido del último barómetro del CEO (2024-2):
El consenso transversal de que "en las cosas importantes" los inmigrantes son diferentes a la población nativa.
Las ideas de extrema derecha suelen calar y ser el antecedente del voto a la extrema derecha.
