| description | LGBT Rights in Mexico: Collective action at the Subnational LevelThis article questions the classification of Mexico as a case of successful institutionalization of LGBT rights, demonstrating that the recognition of these rights is the exception and not the rule that prevails at the subnational level. It is argued that in spite of the obstacles generated by the federal model, the consolidation of an extended collective field of action throughout the nation has been a fundamental factor in driving the demands for the recognition of the rights of sexual minorities. Appealing to a repertory of demands such as strategic litigation, collective action has made visible the condition of unconstitutional items and legal discrimination of the LGBT population that prevails in the majority of the states of Mexico. Resumen:Este artículo cuestiona la clasificación de México como un caso de exitosa institucionalización de los derechos LGBT, demostrando que el reconocimiento de estos derechos es la excepción y no la regla que impera a nivel subnacional. Se argumenta que a pesar de los obstáculos generados por el modelo federal, la consolidación de un campo de acción colectiva extendido en todo el territorio ha sido un factor fundamental para impulsar demandas por el reconocimiento de los derechos de las minorías sexuales. Apelando a repertorios como el litigio estratégico, la acción colectiva ha hecho visible el estado de cosas inconstitucional y la discriminación legal a la población LGBT que prevalece en la mayoría de los estados de México. |
