Začaran krog diskriminacije: od moralne diskreditacije homoseksualnosti do neenakosti gejev in lezbijk pred zakonom - in nazaj
Vicious Circle of Discrimination: From moral discreditation of homosexuality to the inequality of gays and lesbians under the law - and back again

Summary/Abstract: The article presents arguments against legalization of the same-sex partnership in Slovenia (enacted in Jun 2005) and emphasizes the symbolic meaning of the Law on same-sex partnership particularly for its opponents. The author deconstructs apparently tolerant political debates on this question and finds out that embodying the principle of equality enhances hostility towards gays and lesbians. She analyses the motives and warns against the symbolic and juridical consequences of distinction between the same-sex and hetero-sex partnership and compares the political debates on legalization of the same-sex partnership with the debates on the single women's right to artificial insemination.
