Direitos humanos, gênero e sexualidade no Estado Constitucional de Direito

Abstract

This work aims to explore and investigate the role of gender and sexuality (more specifically sexual orientation and its ability to generate intimate arrangements, marital and family), in the formulation of demands to be addressed by the legal system through new settings or interpretations of civil and human rights, allowing penetration of public spaces by elements of the sphere of intimacy. This occurs through reciprocal interference buoyed by the legal grammar of constitutional and human rights, in which resizes its formulation and implementation by social actors, while they call their inclusive and egalitarian language in search of recognition, inclusion and participation, which aims to realize the idea of reciprocity contained in the formal rule of law. Therefore, gender equality and sexual orientation become more than a regulatory ideal, they go beyond to become a conception of justice itself, informed also by a substantive dimension of rule of law related to the democratic paradigm, although the rights to perform this ideal of justice should be implemented legally in varying degrees, from the functions and duties in order to reconcile universality and uniqueness and allowing communication channels to the placement of the claims of the minority in the light of dialogue with the majority.
