This book is a follow-up volume to Same-Sex Marriage in the
Americas: Policy Innovation for Same-Sex Relationships published by
Lexington Books in 2010. It sheds light on regional, national, and
individual-level factors that have led to major developments for
same-sex relationship equality in Latin America and explores
institutional, political, and social barriers for same-sex couples
in the region. The first section of the book deals with general
aspects of same-sex rights and policies in the Americas; including
public opinion regarding same-sex marriage, diffusion of policy
innovations for same-sex couples, judicialization of LGBT rights,
and the role of the left in support of same-sex rights in Latin
America. The second section examines country-cases regarding
same-sex policies in Latin America and includes separate chapters
on Central America, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay.
Overall, this research is innovative and unique because it covers
the understudied policies of same-sex relationships in Latin
America, despite its recent major developments, and includes both
regional and national level analyses to explain such developments.

This book examines the proliferation of policy making concerning
the recognition and protection of same-sex relationships in the
countries of North and South America, adding to the knowledge of
developments in the United States and Canada, but, mostly notable,
exploring more recent developments in Mexico, Central and South
America, and the Caribbean. While much work has been done on
developments in Europe and upper North America, this book attempts
to broaden the understanding of relationship equality policy
proliferation around the world and to add new insights regarding
the policies of sexuality in different national contexts. The book
discusses the several factors that have constrained and facilitated
policymaking in this area including legal systems, public opinion,
political culture, and, more particularly, the role of religion as
a key obstacle in the recognition of rights for same-sex couples.
The chapters also explore the role of institutional mechanisms,
political parties, NGOs, IGOs, and international norms as
significant factors for policy adoption This book explores policy
innovation for same-sex couples throughout the Americas and
includes same-sex marriage legislation, civil unions, and other new
developments for same-sex couples throughout the Americas at both
national and sub-national levels. This scholarship is innovative
because though much has been written regarding developments in
North America, there is very little work dealing with recent
developments in the rest of the Americas.
