Abstrakt: Gender and sexuality have become increasingly relevant issues for right-wing populist parties. This article analyzes political attitudes of lesbian, gay, bi, trans*, inter, and queer (LGBTIQ*) voters of right-wing populist parties in local elections in Vienna (Austria) and Berlin (Germany). Right-wing LGBTIQ* voters display similar negative attitudes toward migrants, women, and other sexual minorities as the right-wing parties Alternative für Deutschland and Freiheitliche Partei Österreich they vote for. We argue that this "electoral homonationalism" is a bridge from the nationalist discourse of parties and political groups to the voting behavior of the electorate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
