Abstract

The legal and constitutional systems should move forward in guaranteeing the right to free development of affectivity and sexuality, beyond its strict protection through the prohibition of discrimination. This involves recognizing a generic «right to identity», closely connected with the dignity and the free development of personality. Both dimensions of the individual, emotions and sexuality, have obvious public projections that demand protection beyond the privacy. This affects the depth on the principle of equality and the review of a symbolic order that for centuries has refused diversity.
