LOPEZ, Jairo Antonio. Mobilization and counter-mobilization against LGBT rights. Conservative responses to the recognition of human rights. Estud. sociol [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.106, pp.161-187. ISSN 2448-6442. https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2018v36n106.1576.
This article analyzes the counter-mobilization against the institutionalization of LGBT rights in Colombia and Mexico. From an analytical framework that integrates the dimension of mobilization and counter-mobilization in the conflicts for rights, we show that the conservative reaction in Colombia and Mexico is a coordinated and active response against the conquests of sexual minorities, led by the churches, which has slowed the progress of effective recognition of human rights. We have identified similar strategies of mobilization of demand frameworks, mobilization structures and collective action repertories in both cases that have raised the political costs of institutional changes through two mechanisms of conflict: street and electoral activism and institutional activism.
