The choice of countries is informed by traits of their common history as European countries historically immersed in traditional cultural frameworks and which have moved from repressive political or sociocultural regimes to regimes that offer LGBTI+ recognition in the 2000s and where the rise of extreme-right populism and anti-gender backlash can be observed in recent years.
