Same-sex marriage and the public sphere in Argentina

During the discussion, the debate expanded to the point of reaching to “informal public spheres”, which are the fleeting yet intense forms of everyday life that allow for debate and deliberation (Fraser, 1997). The process on the same-sex marriage bill mobilized controversies in various spaces, feeding on to the democratization of society. It endows people with the chance to become involved in public affairs, to exercise their citizenship,
to become political, to be part—even for the opponents of the bill. Hence we conclude that the same-sex marriage debate constitutes a step forward
from which other issues can be publicly debated in Argentina. All arguments and transformations of the public sphere indexed, beyond its actual results, the immanence of social order. This is: the debate demonstrated that societies define and re-define their own rules. This multiplies the possibilities for new demands and political subjects.(AU)
