by Javier Corrales
- Information
Description
The first section of this Element reviews the history of LGBTQ rights in the region since the 1960s.
The second section reviews explanations for the expansion of rights and setbacks, especially since the mid 2000s.
Explanations are organized according to three themes: (1) the (re-)emergence of a religious cleavage; (2) the role of political institutions such as presidential leadership, political parties, federalism, courts, and transnational forces; and (3) the role of social movement strategies, and especially, unity.
The last section compares the progress on LGBTQ rights (significant) with reproductive rights (insignificant).
This Element concludes with an overview of the causes and possible future direction of the current backlash against LGBTQ rights.
