Same-sex marriage in Argentina tolerance and discrimination in political culture
José Eduardo Jorge
The fact of Argentina being one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage has been studied all over
the world. A not-so-mentioned cause is that, according to survey data, discriminatory attitudes
towards homosexual people decreased noticeable in Argentina since the restoration of democracy in
1983. The evolution of these attitudes, considered as a key indicator of the value of tolerance in any
society, suggests that at least some central components of political culture may change as a product
of democratic exercise and not only of economic modernization. The article also revises the attitudes
towards people suffering from AIDS and people with criminal records.
