ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes Spanish-language initiatives linked to LGBTIQ+ causes posted on the Change.org website to determine which actors, issues, and frameworks are most prevalent and what support they have received. Digital technologies have indeed proved to be a particularly useful tool for social minorities and marginalized groups, enabling them to amplify their voices, “raising awareness and creating community and a sense of shared solidarity enhancing civic and political participation; facilitating mobilization; and increasing access to justice”. Social networks have been the platforms of choice for LGBTIQ+ activism for many such campaigns. E-petitions are social actions that fall under the term civic activism, which also includes online donations, and have become one of the most important and popular forms of online activism. E-petitions are one of the tools that LGBTIQ+ activism relies on to carry out connective actions.
