When colours of the rainbow sneak its way into the parliament: : A quantitative content analysis on LGBTQI and Swedish politics (English)
Abstract [en]

LGBTQI-rights differentiates depending on which part of the world and which country chosen to study. Studies on LGBTQI-rights has shown that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights isn’t as inclusive as one could hope it would be. Individual state’s drive for implementing LGBTQI-rights differs both worldwide but also regional-wise. According to ILGA-Europe, Sweden is the 6th LGBTQI-friendliest country to live in based on a study of 49 European countries. Even though this is a relatively good placement Sweden still has room for improvement. Especially regarding bi-, trans-, intersex and lgbtqi-refugee rights. To understand how this translates to Swedish politics, this study examines if different LGBTQI-groups are mentioned more than others. Using a quantitative method, I analyse 176 government bills and motions submitted to the parliament for decision between 2013-2021. These documents represent every case this type of document mentioned LGBTQI-individuals at least one time, meaning this study is a total survey. The findings show that there were too few cases of usage of the acronym LGBTQI to draw any conclusions. However, the results showed there was a difference when using the acronym LGB and LGBT, since bills using the LGBT-acronym included more groups. Another find was homosexuals were referred to more often than bisexuals, transgendered, intersex and queer people. This also correlated to mention of hate towards homosexuals where more common than mentions of biphobia and transphobia.
