Framing Populist Radical Right Opposition to LGBTIQ+ Issues
Lega and Fratelli d’Italia’s Strategies on Social Media
Massimo Prearo and Alessio Scopelliti

The analysis focuses on the emergence of «antilgbtqism» within PRRPs’ communication on Twitter/X to assess whether it appeared occasionally or in a relatively persistent manner.
