Theoretical perspectives of the recognition of sexual identities in face of human rights and the fraternal law

Abstract

Identities gain meaning in social contexts. Therefore, based on a hypothetical- deductive study, it is intended to reflect on the importance of the identity recognition of sexualities to accomplish human rights, presenting the contributions and limits of the Fraternal Right on this theme. It is noticed that the recognition of sexual identity has evolved in legal terms, but is still surrounded by prejudices and stereotypes, reflected in the promotion and exercise of these rights. The Fraternal Law contributes to reflections of realities based on premises aimed at alterity, which facilitates the recognition of non-heteronormative sexual identities, although it is needed profound cultural change.
