The processing of the first state law on equality of lesbian, gay, transsexual, bisexual, transgender, transgender and intersex has begun this Thursday in the Congress of Deputies.
Gayles.tv | The State Federation of Lesbian Gays Transsexuals and Bisexuals (FELGTB) has presented today in the Registry of Congress of Deputies a proposal of the law of Equality LGTBI. The president of FELGTB, Jesus Generate it, has ensured that this text "will set the bases" to achieve "effective equality" in Spanish society. The initiative has emerged from the collectives themselves and has been endorsed and assumed by all parties, except PP and PNV.
"It is a law for all citizens that defends the right to be to appear, to show themselves and to self-identify as each and everyone wants," said the president of the federation, Jesús Generelo.
The proposed law advocates creating a national framework in which respect for different sexual and gender identities is developed that develops the prohibition of discrimination and the free development of the personality included in the Constitution. To do this, it includes measures in several areas, such as labor, family, health or education and alludes both to the powers of the State and those of the autonomous communities.
Among the main novelties of the law would be everything related to the collective transgender and transgender. The law establishes the obligation of the public administration to recognize the "felt identity" of all transgender persons, even when they are minors.
The standard also wants end with the consideration of transsexuality as a pathology or disease in the world of health and include the process of sexual reassignment in the basic portfolio of public health, including surgical operations and hormonal treatment. There already existed an 2007 law in which the administrative change of gender was regulated, but which required as a prerequisite that there be a psychiatric diagnosis. The proposal of the federation aims to eliminate this requirement, so that it is not necessary to provide any type of medical or psychological documentation. On the contrary, the law wants ban 'therapies that seek to reverse sexual orientation or the gender identity of the person, even with the consent of the same. That is, to end the supposed 'treatments' to 'cure' homosexuality or transsexuality.
The proposition has a dedicated chapter to intra-gender violence, which is one that occurs between couples or former couples of the same sex. The initiative provides that victims of this type of mistreatment can "access the same rights provided for women victims of gender violence" in the gender violence law. In a similar way, it proposes that transsexual or transgender women who are victims of sexist violence are included in the Gender Violence Law, since until now they were in a legal vacuum.
The registered text includes the rights and protocols of action of the victims of hate crimes for LGTBIphobia. The proposal includes the investment of the test load, so that it is the defendant who has to prove his innocence.
The proposal also stands out end the requirement that requires lesbian couples to be married to register their children in the civil registry.
En Education, the proposal includes a comprehensive plan for introduce examples of sexual and gender diversity in all subjects of the curriculum and teacher training to ensure "adequate awareness" in schools.
The standard includes a new protocol regarding asylum for reasons of sexual diversity, which eliminates the requirement to ask for evidence of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The registration of the bill it is only the first step of the parliamentary process. Before being voted on, the Congress Committee must qualify it and take it to plenary session so that the groups can vote. From there the period of amendments will open.
