  • More about The Politics of LGBTQ Rights Expansion in Latin America and the Caribbean

The history of LGBTQ rights in the region since the 1960s, with explanations for the expansion of rights and setbacks since the mid-2000s, is organized according to three themes: religious cleavage, political institutions, and social movement strategies. The progress on LGBTQ rights is compared with reproductive rights, and the causes and possible future direction of the current backlash against LGBTQ rights are discussed.

The history of LGBTQ rights in the region since the 1960s is reviewed in the first section of this Element. The second section examines the reasons for the expansion of rights and setbacks, particularly 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.
