“…For instance, CHA has long been at the forefront of the broader push for incremental changes in that country, primarily through the courts. Likewise, ABLGBTT is the umbrella organization in Brazil that pushed for the long series of judicial battles beginning with claims to material benefits for partners and culminating in same-sex marriage (see Moreira, 2012)). More generally, as…”

“…The Brazilian constitution is noted particularly for its heavy emphasis no only on individual but also on collective rights, as well as for its assignment of the Office of the Supreme Federal Court, are granted de facto marriage rights regardless (Moreira, 2012). This suggests that Brazilian LGBT rights activists were not content merely with material guaranteesthey instead continued pushing for identity-based rights, using the substantive guarantees granted them as a base on which to build a conceptual pyramid.…”

“…(2) reacting to the struggles of entering the institutions which regulate domestic cohabitation; (3) a wave of lawsuits aimed at sanctioning gay rights as diffuse rights; (4) litigation up to the level of the Supreme Federal Court for the recognition of same-sex unions as stable unions; and (5) further litigation for converting said unions into full marriages (Moreira, 2012). This process will be further fleshed out in turn.…”

“…An increase in demands among same-sex couples for equal treatment with respect to property and inheritance served as the gateway through which future lawsuits revolving around same-sex marriage would follow. Particularly with respect to social security benefits, a series of lower-court rulings provided mixed decisions throughout the country in the early 2000s, culminating in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Federal Court that the Brazilian constitution mandates equal protection of same-sex couples on these grounds (Moreira, 2012(Moreira, , p. 1021. Notably, given the unique emphasis on family rights, the constitution regulates cohabitation in a particularly rigorous fashion.…”

“…This should be the case especially when dealing with judicial rulings one the matter, though to a lesser extent it should also be expected that legislation would be impacted by constitutions as well. Literature on the matter (Moreira, 2012;de la Cruz, 2013) has already hinted at this as a substantial factor, so it is appropriate to account for it in a systematic study of the phenomenon as well.…”

Another Kind of Pink Tide? An Investigation into the Rapid Expansion of LGBT Rights in Latin America

Within the past two decades or so, the South American region has seen a remarkable rise in the enactment of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights-affirming policies. This trend is particularly notable given the dearth of such progress in the rest of the developing world. As such, this study aims to contribute to the small but rapidly growing body of literature on the subject. In particular, I aim to determine which factors are most explanatory of when and why countries will enactLGBT rights policies and why a disparity exists across the region. The first systematic study of its kind, findings suggest that social movements, the language of a state's constitution, and religious trends are most influential in this regard. Noting the limitations of the research, I proceed to suggest possible future research directions.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the generalizability of the minority stress model on predicting depressive symptomatology among sexual minority men living outside of the United States. In addition, the role of resilience and its relationship between individual minority stressors and depressive symptomatology is examined. The study utilized online purposive sampling and focused on sexual minority men living in Brazil; participants’ (N = 388) ages ranged from 18 to 56 years (Mage = 25.31, SDage = 7.87, Mdnage = 23). Participants completed measures that assessed sociodemographics, minority stressors, resilience, and symptoms of depression. Results of a hierarchical regression indicated that, while accounting for sociodemographics, enacted stigma and internalized homonegativity independently predicted participants’ depressive symptomatology, whereas concealment of sexual identity did not. Further, to assess the role of resilience, while accounting for the effects of sociodemographics and minority stressors, results suggested that resilience significantly added to predicting depressive symptomatology and indicated that enacted stigma was the only minority stressor that significantly predicted depressive symptomatology. Lastly, when interactions between individual minority stressors and resilience were added to the model, results suggested that resilience moderated the relationship between concealment of sexual orientation and depressive symptomatology. The study’s findings highlight the importance of considering sociocultural context and resilience in evaluating minority stress and depressive symptomatology among sexual minorities. The authors discuss the implications of this study in the context of theory, research, clinical practice, and policy among sexual minority men.
