“…Homosexuality has been publicly denounced as deviant, as profoundly immoral, as a violation of basic norms of decency, and as a violation of Russia's national character. The growing influence of the Russian Orthodox Church in a public discourse on morality and values has sought to strengthen anti-LGBTQI+ sentiments in Russian society under Putin's rule (Hill 2019). This has been reflected in legislation, where homosexuality has been met with great hostility and social condemnation, but it has not been illegal.…”

This article is based on two in-depth interviews with NGO representatives working with the Barents Pride festival, close to the Norwegian-Russian border. Organizations and activists from both sides of the border take a stand for equality and celebrate diversity and love. In the article, the concept of bravery is analyzed. Tatiana, a bisexual cisgender female Russian NGO worker and activist, is part of an organization fighting for LBGTQI+ rights in Russia. Steinar is a Norwegian representative for an international human rights organization. Faced with dominant Russian narratives that define homosexuality in negative terms, Tatiana and Steinar provide stories of bravery, creating a contextualized understanding of the need to stand together as fellow human beings in politically challenging times. Contextual narrative analyses of case studies play a valuable role in research by focusing on the term of bravery for minoritized groups fighting against systematic violence and oppression by political authorities.

Introduction Conspiracy theories and beliefs (CTBs) about LGBTQ+ people are often used as arguments in political debate in Italy and across Europe to hinder the passing of protective laws and negatively affect popular consensus regarding the promotion of anti-discrimination policies and the advancement of civil rights. Method We conducted two correlational studies in Italy starting the data collection at the end of 2022. In Study 1 (N = 589), we investigated which ideological profile was more associated with LGBTQ+ CTBs, between the two profiles identified by Duckitt et al.’s model (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 83(1), 75–93, 2002): path A) high vision of the world as a competitive jungle and consequent high social dominance orientation; path B) high vision of the world as dangerous and consequent high right-wing authoritarianism. In Study 2 (N = 1581), we have also included three potential outcomes associated with LGBTQ+ CTBs in the model. Results Through a mediational path model, we found that path B was the strongest associated with LGBTQ+ CTBs. We found that LGBTQ+ CTBs mediated the relationships between the two ideological dispositions and (a) lower support to LGBTQ+ civil rights; (b) lower LGBTQ+ collective action intentions; and (c) higher adherence to economic myths about LGBTQ+ people. Conclusions Socio-psychological research on LGBTQ+ CTBs may inform social policies that work to lessen the harm these beliefs do and advance a more welcoming and inclusive society. Policy Implications Such results offer several insights to change and improve the actual debate in political, scientific, and cultural domains, contributing to producing new policies which might increase the self-determination of all LGBTQ+ people.
