“…These ideas may lead people to believe that being gay is wrong, that sexual practices between men are unnatural, and that sexual dynamics between two same-sex individuals violate culturally accepted gender norms. We believe these results may also reflect the machismo and conservatism that characterize many Latin-American countries, including Ecuador (Chaux et al, 2021;Navarro et al, 2019).…”

“…In recent years, Latin America has become the scenario of several social and legal transformations to create safe and discrimination-free environments for sexual and gender minority populations (Navarro, Barrientos, Gómez, & Bahamondes, 2019). Currently, no country in the region criminalizes samesex sexual behaviors, and most of them have issued anti-discrimination laws (Barrientos, 2016).…”

Since 1997, Ecuador has undergone a series of changes to ensure family rights to sexual minorities. However, there is still limited research regarding attitudes toward them. This study focused on the attitudes toward lesbians (L), gay men (G), and their rights. A sample of 318 cisgender Ecuadorians who responded to an online survey was recruited. Analyses indicated that men, heterosexuals, who practice their religion, attend more frequently to religious services, and identify as conservative showed higher levels of prejudice against LG as well as less support toward their rights. Further, participants who did not have LG acquaintances, friends, family members, and those who did not know any LG parented family showed less support toward these populations. Multiple regression analyses indicated that believing that a person's sexual orientation is learned significantly predicted the attitudes measured in our study. Implications of these findings to help reduce prejudice against LG individuals are discussed.

“…Rather than a future of religious dealignment, we might instead expect that religious‐secular cleavages will remain important to explaining voting behaviour in Latin American democracies for years to come. If the share of voters holding post‐material values continues to grow, resulting in polarisation between religious and secular (Hildebrandt and Jäckle, 2019; Navarro et al, 2019), we might even observe a conservative reaction among religious working‐class voters that deepens religious‐secular divisions (Inglehart, 1990: 305).…”

Dealigned or Still Salient? Religious‐Secular Divisions in Chilean Presidential Elections

With countries like Chile facing secularisation, some research predicts religious‐secular cleavages will ‘dealign’, while other research suggests these cleavages will persist so long as religious‐secular divisions are reflected among presidential candidates. Using surveys of first‐round voting intentions in the five most recent presidential elections in Chile, the analysis shows that religious‐secular divisions in voting appear when candidates are divided clearly along religious‐secular lines (and not when divisions among candidates are blurred). These findings suggest researchers need to account for the impact candidates' positions have on the appearance of religious‐secular divisions before declaring that dealignment has occurred.

“…Por su parte, encuestas globales como la coordinada por World Values Survey Associa on (WVS) entre el 2010 y 2014 muestran que el promedio de aceptación a la homosexualidad en Colombia (M= 3,39) es más bajo que el promedio suramericano (M= 4.45) en una escala de 1 a 10 donde 10 sugiere la máxima aceptación; otra muestra de la preponderancia de la es gma zación hacia dicha población (Navarro, Barrientos, Gómez & Bahamondes, 2019).…”
