Resumen

In this article, we analyze the recent LGBT+ movement’s politicization process in Argentina, with respect to two important sex and gender equality claims: same-sex marriage and gender identity. We argue that  the legal recognition of those demands produced a new era in public policy. In addition, this cannot be understood without paying attention to the reactions and political articulations that arose in rejection of those claims of expansions of rights, and in defense of a neoliberal and conservative political order, reinforcing patriarchal, cis-heterosexual and sexist power logic. From our perspective, we see a new cycle of collective struggles and manifestations that give renewed vigor to the historical demands of the Argentine LGBT+ movement.
