Listen "The Politics of Fear – Logan Bates on LGBTQ2S+ Rights and Rhetoric"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Polisci, host Navid Mahlooji sits down with Logan Bates, a political science scholar whose research examines the evolution of conservative rhetoric in opposition to LGBTQ2S+ rights in the U.S. From analyzing emotional discourses in Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill to uncovering how fear, security, and disgust are transformed into rights-based arguments, Logan’s work highlights a critical shift in political messaging.
Beyond academia, Logan is deeply engaged in advocacy, volunteering with the Queer History Club and organizing community events that amplify queer voices. Tune in as we explore Logan’s research, the rise of anti-LGBTQ2S+ legislation, and the strategies that can counteract these political trends.
