Happy Pride! Let’s keep pushing for the kind of inclusion & egalitarianism that doesn’t demand we “cover” or tone down our (minoritized) identities & blend into the mainstream 🌈

9/ I call for a methodological shift in studying discrimination: away from simple, text-based cues that reduce identity to a census box. Facial & vocal stimuli better reflect how we perceive difference and categorize others in the real world—& can help uncover bias at both group and subgroup levels.

8/ In particular, we must look beyond group-level biases (e.g., gay vs. straight, Black vs. white) and attend to how ppl respond to subsets within minority groups—those who refuse or fail to “cover” distinct markers of their known minority identity and culture, like hairstyle, speech, or clothing.

7/ While focused on sexual orientation, I hope this study speaks to & has important takeaways for research on status, prejudice, discrimination, and respectability politics more broadly.

6/ This finding underscores the value of recalibrating our empirical approach to studying LGBTQ politics and disparities, paying closer attention to insights from queer and political theory that identify heteronormativity, not heterosexuality per se, as the central axis of power and exclusion.

5/ Gender nonconformity biases disproportionately affect sexual minorities. Still, I argue & find that straight candidates with relatively gender nonconforming traits also fall near or outside the bounds of heteronormativity and, as a result, face discrimination.
