“…For example, as legal structures for same-sex relationships have emerged in many contexts, religious and LGBT-Q rights have been polarised in the public sphere (Neary, 2016a) with fundamentalist religious organisations and devoted followers of organised religions generally comprising the strongest public opposition to same-sex marriage (Ogland and Verona 2014).…”

Teachers and civil partnership: Ambivalent attachments to religion and secularismAs legal structures for same-sex relationships are introduced in many contexts, the politics of sexuality are negotiated along religious/secular lines. Religious and LGBT-Q rights are pitted against one another such that LGBT-Q lives often assumed to be secular. Schools are crucibles of intermingling religious, secular and equality discourses and this complexity is carefully negotiated by LGBT-Q teachers in their everyday lives. Drawing on a study with LGB teachers as they entered into a Civil Partnership in Ireland (a legal structure in place for five years prior to enactment of Marriage Equality in 2015), this paper captures a 'structure of feeling' -new cultural work done as sexuality norms were in a state of flux.The teachers' accounts unravel the religious/secular binary and provide insight of universal interest into the ambivalent, messy ways in which the politics of sexuality are (re)negotiated across the overlapping social fields of religion and education.

“…As target groups for intergroup differentiation, we selected homosexuals and adherents of Afro-Brazilian religions (e.g., Candomblé and Umbanda). Among Protestant communities in Brazil, there is widespread disapproval of these groups and what they stand for, or at least substantial controversy concerning the appropriate treatment of homosexuals (Costa, Peroni, de Camargo, Pasley, & Nardi, 2015; Ogland & Verona, 2014) and adherents of Afro-Brazilian religions (Phillips, 2015; Silva, 2007), who seem to be regarded as ‘the other’ (see also Simon, Brause, & Galeão-Silva, 2016). For example, pastors of the new Pentecostals are preaching against homosexuality and individuals of other faiths.…”

The article reports two studies in which we examined how the politicization of religious communities influences both affective and cognitive intergroup differentiation. In Study 1, we used a longitudinal research design and observed that politicization among members of Protestant communities in Germany negatively affected their feelings towards and perceptions of commonalities with homosexuals and Muslims. In Study 2, we used a cross-sectional design and replicated the results with members of Protestant communities in Brazil as research participants and homosexuals and adherents of Afro-Brazilian religions as target groups. However, unlike politicization, which revolves around demands for greater support directed at the larger society, community solidarity, which focused on engagement for one's community, was unrelated to affective intergroup differentiation and even negatively related to cognitive intergroup differentiation, especially in the German context. RESUMENEl artículo describe dos estudios en los que se analiza cómo influye la politización de las comunidades religiosas en la diferenciación intergrupal afectiva y cognitiva. En el Estudio 1 aplicamos un diseño de investigación longitudinal y observamos que la politización entre los miembros de las comunidades protestantes en Alemania influía negativamente en sus sentimientos hacia y la percepción de puntos comunes con los homosexuales y los musulmanes. En el Estudio 2 utilizamos un diseño transversal y reproducimos los resultados con miembros de comunidades protestantes de Brasil como participantes en la investigación y homosexuales y seguidores de religiones afrobrasileñas como grupos objetivo. No obstante, a diferencia de la politización, que versa sobre las demandas de un apoyo mayor dirigido a la sociedad en general, la solidaridad comunitaria, centrada en el compromiso para la propia comunidad, no estaba relacionada con la ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Mirroring trends in the general population, among U.S. Latinos, evangelical Protestants are much more likely to oppose same-sex marriage than Catholics (Ellison, Acevedo, and Ramos-Wada 2011). The more tolerant attitudes of Catholics versus Protestants seem to hold in other countries as well (Clements 2014), though not necessarily everywhere (Ogland and Verona 2014).…”

Extending Rights to Marginalized Minorities: Same-Sex Relationship Recognition in Mexico and the United States

What explains the extension of greater rights to traditionally marginalized minorities? This article compares the extension of legal equality to lebian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Mexico and the United States with a focus on the legal recognition of same-sex relationships. A national-level comparison of gay rights in Mexico and the United States presents a theoretical puzzle: most theories predict that the United States would have more egalitarian policies than Mexico, but in fact, Mexico has provided greater legal equality for LGBT people for a longer time than the United States. A subnational analysis of equal relationship rights in the United States and Mexico provides evidence to support social movement and partisan theories of minority rights. We find that religion plays a different role in Mexico than in the United States. The different findings at the national and subnational levels suggest the importance of subnational comparative analysis in heterogeneous federal systems.
