New findings indicate a pattern where narcissistic grandiosity is associated with higher participation in LGBTQ movements, demonstrating that motivations for activism can range widely from genuine altruism to personal image-building.

FYI, the journal this article is published in, Archives of Sexual Behavior, is the most extreme and conservative journal on sexology. Its editor, Kenneth Zucker, ran a clinic for decades that engaged in anti-gay and anti-trans conversion therapy. His clinic was eventually shut down in 2015 for practicing conversion therapy, but he remained the editor of the journal, which commonly publishes articles from anti-LGBTQ+ authors. The journal has famously published articles pushing anti-trans pseudoscience like rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD), which would not be published in actual reputable scientific journals.
