Academic research, however, increasingly questions backlash as an explanation for opposition to LGBT rights. Elite-Led Mobilization and Gay Rights argues that what appears to be public opinion backlash against gay rights is more consistent with elite-led mobilization--a strategy used by anti-gay elites, primarily white evangelicals, seeking to prevent the full incorporation of LGBT Americans in the polity in order to achieve political objectives and increase political power. This book defines and tests the theory of Mass Opinion Backlash and develops and tests the theory of Elite-Led Mobilization by employing a series of online and natural experiments, surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court rulings in Obergefell v. Hodges and United States v. Windsor, and President Obama's position change on gay marriage. To evaluate these theories, the authors employ extensive survey, voting behavior, and campaign finance data, and examine the history of the LGBT movement and its opposition by religious conservatives, from the Lavender Scare to the campaign against Trans Rights in the defeat of Houston's 2015 HERO ordinance. Their evidence shows that opposition to LGBT rights is a top-down process incited by anti-gay elites rather than a bottom-up reaction described by public opinion backlash."--Publisher's description. 505 0 $a Iowa's irony -- Toward a theory of elite-led mobilization -- In search of backlash: the experiments -- In search of backlash: observational evidence -- Institutions and attitudes -- The history of gay rights: backlash or elite-led mobilization? -- Iowa's judicial retention elections: backlash or elite-led mobilization? -- Organize, mobilize, legislate, and litigate. 650 0 $a Gay rights $z United States $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Gay rights $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Gays $z United States $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Homophobia $z United States. 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $z United States. 650 7 $a Elite (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908113 650 7 $a Gay rights $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939215 650 7 $a Gays $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939296 650 7 $a Homophobia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959727 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Hayes, Thomas J. $q (Thomas Joseph), $d 1953- $e author. 700 1 $a Incantalupo, Matthew B., $e author. 700 1 $a Smith, Charles Anthony, $d 1961- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE9D778AA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
