Abstract

The research proposed, therefore, to analyze the social and legal inclusion that emerges from Law 26.618, understood as a policy of redress human rights against the vulnerability of sexual rights or orientation and gender, driven by the work of activists from different political organizations and inspired, in part, by some international comparative law on the recognition of sexual rights. Indeed, this research matters in order to analyze the beginning of the socio cultural consolidation of the legal equality from a legitimized diversity and used the frame provided by the sociology of law to think and review characteristics of different types of families and gay-lesbian parenting in relation to the effectiveness of the law, resistance to change and persistence of forms of discrimination -including criminalizing certain mechanisms motivated by intolerance towards sexual diversity-. The methodological design combines quantitative and qualitative triangulated techniques, based on a legal review, its history and its impact on social structure which should be understood as the analysis of changes introduced by law towards related legal regulations, judicial decisions, government administration and all kind of actors included.
