“Worse than Communism”: A Case Study of Homophobic Appeals and Poland’s Law and Justice Party Open Access
Korpanty, Ania (Spring 2022)
Abstract
The LGBTQIA+ community across Eastern Europe is currently under attack. The Polish Law and Justice party, known as Prawo i Sprawiedliwość in Poland, increasingly relies on homophobic appeals to establish their dominance. Politicized homophobia is understudied, therefore it is difficult to understand how these political homophobic appeals operate and why they are successful. This thesis explores the causal mechanisms behind various political homophobic appeals and how they affect support for the Law and Justice party, as well as support for greater restrictions on the LGBTQIA+ community. By conducting one of the first survey experiments surrounding politicized homophobia, this research can shed light on why these appeals are so powerful and help create a framework for addressing homophobic attitudes in other Eastern European nations.
