We exploit temporal and geographic variation in the passage of same-sex relationship recognition policies to test the effect of these policies on the political trust of sexual minorities. Findings suggest that same-sex relationship recognition policies increase the trust that sexual minorities have in the actors and institutions that were integral to the policy change. The findings further suggest an incentive mechanism exists for politicians and political parties to follow public policies that reduce structural stigma of minority groups and improve their political trust.
