“…While "Christian nationalism" has been measured in various ways (e.g., Al-Kire et al 2021, 2022Corcoran et al 2021;McDaniel et al 2011), the Christian nationalism scale used by Whitehead and Perry (2020) has become the standard across disciplines like sociology, social psychology, and political science (Al-Kire et al 2021, 2022Davis 2018;Armaly et al 2022).…”

Americans are often split along partisan and religious lines regarding which claims they consider “rights” and which rights they prioritize. Beyond standard political and religious characteristics, we propose that a pervasive ideology that centers conservative religious ethno-culture within America’s deep story and future—Christian nationalism—plays a central role in shaping how Americans evaluate “rights.” Analyses show Christian nationalism is a leading predictor that Americans prioritize gun rights, religious freedom, and states’ rights, but deprioritize freedom of the press, right to a speedy and fair trial, and protection from unlawful searches or seizures. Christian nationalism is also descriptively associated with deprioritizing free speech, though this becomes non-significant with controls. Christian nationalism is also the strongest predictor that Americans view voting as a privilege, not a right. Associations are generally consistent across gender and race. Findings suggest Christian nationalism inclines Americans toward more authoritarian and anti-democratic perspectives on “rights,” prioritizing in-group liberty, but deprioritizing rights that protect suspected disrupters of social order or challenges to power.

“…Worth mentioning is also the very recent research dedicated to the electoral success of LGB individuals and corresponding influential factors (e.g. Cravens, 2023;Everitt and Camp, 2014;Everitt and Horvath, 2021;Reynolds, 2018, 2021). The third strand is explicitly dedicated to the public's perception of LGB politicians and which indicators explain disapproval or approval (Albaugh and Baisley, 2023;Haider-Markel et al, 2017;Jones and Brewer, 2019).…”

LGB+ identity and its implications for the policy positions of parliamentary candidates

Several studies concentrate on the representation of minority groups and the policy goals that members of these groups highlight when becoming candidates for public offices. However, we do not know much about the degree of parliamentary representation of sexual minorities and what ideological profile politicians with an LGB+ identity adopt. We aim at filling this gap by analysing the ideological stances of LGB+ candidates on key policy dimensions. Using data from the 2021 German candidate study, we find that the self-identification as LGB+ contributes significantly to adopting progressive stances on the socio-cultural dimension and more favourable positions on welfare state expansion, regardless of further important factors like party affiliation. Moreover, candidates who consider themselves LGB+ do take on significantly less traditional positions on the socio-cultural dimension compared to the position of their party, indicating that increasing descriptive representation of LGB+ individuals in parliament leads to a strengthening of more progressive voices in parliament and a stronger substantive representation of LGB+ interests.
