Minorías sexuales: sobre el paradigma de la Tolerancia y el paradigma de la Ciudadanía Plena

we propose two paradigms for analyzing the rights of sexual minorities within a juridical-political-social framework. the first paradigm arises from the idea of tolerance; whereas the second stems from the notion of full citizenship. the features of both paradigms have been gleaned from bills, laws and judicial cases concerning the right to association and the right to same-sex marriage. the article reviews the legal discourse and political implications of the aforementioned legal sources as well as some socio-historical issues concerning the struggle for equal rights of sexual minorities in argentina.
