La protección de los derechos fundamentales de la comunidad LGTBI en Colombia

Resumen

The idea of human dignity that manifests itself as the foundation of the public ethics of modernity is decisive for the Rights. Of it is inferred that the equal dignity of all human beings allows to tackle from different perspectives the concepts of inequality, difference and discrimination, and thus conclude that inequality is incompatible with dignity as everyone that is alienated and discriminated gets involved in a situation that makes a worthy dealing impossible. Since discrimination is incompatible with dignity, especially when it is due to a normative situation, that is to say, of non-factual inequality but legally regulated, in a social State of law, the action of the norm must be derogatory of the discriminations, with the Objective of restoring the equal dignity of persons. Based on these considerations, this article focuses on a critical review of the actions taken by the Colombian legal authorities (Constitutional Court, Congress, Government) in order to assert the rights of the LGBTI population whose particularities are ignored or not taken into account by the bulk of the population or the authorities responsible for ensuring compliance.
