Conservative activism and responses from the mobilisation of LGBT rights in Mexico at sub-national level

Abstract

This article analyses conservative activism and responses to it by subnational level LGBT rights mobilization in Mexico. It studies the case of Veracruz from a perspective that integrates movement-countermovement interaction, using a process reconstruction methodology based on press analysis and in-depth interviews. Two mechanisms of movement response to counter-movement actions are identified: learning and adaptation of repertoires. These responses, which modify strategies and practices, reveal a process that has forced the LGBT movement to shift its actions from the subnational to the national level, given the high veto capacity of conservative activism to limit reforms and changes in Mexican states.
