"Wokism," "grooming," and "propaganda" were used against LGBTIQ people during the 2024 elections in at least 11 out of 60 countries we surveyed. Download our new report "Queering Democracy" to dig into the findings 🔗 bit.ly/QueeringDemocracy3

A staggering 51 out of 60 countries studied showed politicians and political parties negatively weaponized LGBTIQ issues during elections in 2024. Join Outright International on September 11, 2025, at 10AM EST to get a first look at the research. 🔗 https://bit.ly/QueeringDemocracy2
