Derecho a la sexualidad: desde las organizaciones a las políticas públicas

Abstract

The possibility of re -examining the political and legal field (i.e.   in governmental agencies) as well as the establishment of an open-minded attitude in law towards Sexual Diversity) and the empowerment of Gay, Lesbian and Trans- Sexual Groups (G.L.T.), is the result of the constant  work ,leadership and coordination of their members. Therefore, the extension of sexual rights is the product of not only the constant discourse of human rights, but also of the never ending political activism of their organizations.

The study of the origin and the actions expressed as demands of a public policy acknowledging diversity does not involve the quest  for  social political assimilation, but  rather the  necessary ” know-how “, and applying the proper strategies  so that the Administration meets the demands of these groups. It encompasses  analysing  the different procedures of more or less structured groups (where  the most complex  is the establishment, ,consolidation and future development of the G.L.T. groups including the agents with key roles in the coordination of their group and /or leaders in the same structures)  to attain their goals: (The inclusion of   their gender  issues in   the public agenda).

The article, which is the result of a previous field survey,  attempts to explore  and evaluate impact of the social  cultural political and legal aspects in the relation between the activist and at the same time coordinator and leader of the group, his political and or administrative handling of affairs and  his influence in public policies (administrative  decisions)  independent  from the  passing  and incorporation of laws connected with the sexual  rights and gender issues in the public agenda.
