The LGBTQ movement is often referred to as a global movement whereby individual state level movements share information, adopt frames, and utilize tactics adopted by other state level LGBTQ movements. Although many state level movements have arguably been shaped by the experience of the US LGBTQ movement, it should be pointed out that some non-US movements have been more politically successful than the US movement in terms of adopting their desired policy goals, while other state level movements have been less politically successful in achieving their desired policy goals. Using your knowledge of social movements, compare the political success of the US LGBTQ movement with ONE of the following state level movements: Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, India, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, or the United Kingdom (all of which are included in The Lesbian and Gay Movement and the State and/or The Politics of Gay Marriage in Latin America are aboth of which are available on electronic reserve). Which factor(s) BEST EXPLAIN the difference in political success between the US and your selected movement:
A. Poor resource mobilization (Why?)
B. Lack of political opportunities (Why?)
C. Differences linked to postmateralism/framing (Why?)
D. Low LGBTQ visibility (Why?)
E. A combination of the above/Something else (What is it? Why?)
