Queer rights in Latin America have seen significant advancements since the 1990s, with victories such as decriminalization and the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, conservative and religious groups have resisted these developments, complicating further progress. The case of Pavez Pavez v. Chile provided an opportunity for the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to explore the intersection of religious freedom and non-discrimination based on sexual orientation, with implications for both rights in the region.
