Räumen der Barbarei und Gewalt.
of large-scale data on the socioeconomic standing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer persons (LGB[TI]Qs) in Europe. While largescale data on LGB(TI)Qs are a potentially powerful foundation for public discourse and policymaking, their use and sufficiency are highly contested among researchers, activists, and statistical bodies. Analyzing data provided by official national and European statistics institutes, this article describes the inclusion of sexual orientation in the data-generation and reporting processes in thirty European countries and discusses how legal and social acknowledgment make LGB(TI)Qs in/visible in socioeconomic statistics. The article therefore examines if and how LGB(TI)Qs are being “counted” and, importantly, what it means “if queers are counted.”

The focus areas of this research project are defined as follows:
- evaluating the availability, access and quality of already existing data sets on the socioeconomic status of LGBs in Europe;
- reconstructing explanations for the lack of data and discussing some of the major problems hindering
effective data collection;
- eventually providing new insights on the basis of already existing data sets;
- creating theoretical incentives and/or manuals for collecting (new) data on the socioeconomic status of LGBs.
Since questions concerning data collection processes on LGBs or ‘minorities’ in general are a highly controversial subject within different disciplines and theoretical fields, a corresponding epistemological and theoretical discussion on procedures and effects of data collection and statistical methods is one part of the report. Further on the “LGB data project” is based on a transdisciplinary research design interlinking poststructuralist and de/contructivist critiques on quantitative methods and methodologies concerning LGBs with insights from economics, sociology and statistics, leading to a discussion of the ‘need’ of quantitative data on LGBs.
