Abstract

BOTERO URQUIJO, Diego Alejandro. Same-sex Marriage in Terms of Rights: An Approach to the Debate in Latin America from Society Secularization. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.11-32. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.3390.

This article presents a conceptualization of same-sex marriage as the last link in marriage secularization as a social institution, which responds in turn to the process of society secularization. Accordingly, it shows how the traditional conception of marriage has spread in Latin America, which results in rejection of same-sex marriage. Finally, it expounds how its recognition is justified in terms of rights in order to build more democratic societies.

Keywords : democracy; heteronormativity; rights; same-sex marriage; secularization; sexual diversity.
