Do you think there will be any ‘cultural differences’ backlash because she’s U.S.-born?

I don’t expect so, not necessarily. Because from what I read, she seems to have always identified with her Ecuadorian roots, even while in the US. There will be backlash because of her proposed laws for equality, though. I’ve seen the backlash in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico City so I wouldn’t expect it’d be different in Ecuador. The pressure from the Catholic Church and its affiliated groups all over Latin America is HUGE. It can be as virulent and agressive as what the Christian right does in the US.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
