Proud to share our new report from @WilliamsPolicy on "Democratic Backsliding and LGBTI Acceptance"

With Andrew Flores and @MiguelFuca we find evidence that attacks on #LGBTI people can be a canary in the coalmine signaling deeper erosion of dem norms and practices.

[Williams Institute @WilliamsPolicy]

Our new study shows countries that are highly accepting of LGBTI people tend to have high levels of liberal democracy, higher GDP per capita, and larger populations living in urban areas. https://t.co/7Be63zQMDp

[Foreign Policy for America @FP4America]

In today’s #MustRead, @arimshaw argues that attacks on LGBTQ rights are part of a larger assault on democracy—authoritarians use anti-LGBTQ sentiment to gain power and erode institutions, making LGBTQ rights central to the fight for democracy. @ForeignAffairs

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

Read @arimshaw on how authoritarians can consolidate power by undermining LGBTQ rights—and how the Trump administration has made “these rights more fragile around the world.”

‼️Mainland Chinese respondents in new @WilliamsPolicy survey (n=2926) showed high levels of acceptance of LGBTQ ppl: https://t.co/2gcUym7SLs. 52% of respondents “agreed” & 37% “somewhat agreed” w/ legalizing same-sex marriage. Similar %s were accepting of same-sex parents🧵

[Ari Shaw @arimshaw]

In light of substantial government restrictions on LGTBQ civil society over the past decade, we hope this brings new evidence of broader public support for LGBTQ rights in China that diverges from government policy and actions.

[Ari Shaw @arimshaw]

Pleased to share a new report by @WilliamsPolicy and @ilanmeyer that finds a majority surveyed from mainland China agree that LGBTQ people should be accepted by society, able to marry, treated fairly at work, and free from bullying at school.

[Ari Shaw @arimshaw]

Important new piece from @_kvelasco @NancyYunTang @BaralSiddhartha on reframing the link btwn democracy and LGBT rights. “Rather than seeing LGBT+ rights as the consequence of liberal democracy, we need to see…LGBT+ rights AS democracy.”

[Williams Institute @WilliamsPolicy]

We were so excited to have our Development Director Jason Rizzi and Senior Fellow and Director of International Programs @arimshaw representing the Williams Institute at the White House 2024 Pride Celebration yesterday.
