Review. The legal fight for the rights of same sex couples

Summary/Abstract: In 2001, the Netherlands passed the first law recognizing marriage between same sexes. Then increased the number of States that have followed the Dutch example: South Africa, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Iceland, UK, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay et .a. The greatest impact was international recognition of gay marriages in the United States (by the decision of the Supreme Court) and Ireland (by popular referendum), both in 2015. In Romania, the evolution of world democracies has generated "defense" actions; first by amend the Civil Code, then the recent initiative to amend the constitution using the referendum institution. These political mobilizations have generated and will generate legal battles. To deepen the background theme and content of the legal arguments, we reproduce here three interventions Romanian Constitutional Court: two amicus curiae regarding changing the Constitution submitted by the Association accepted and respected by ILGA-Europe together with Amnesty International, ECSOL and International Commission of Jurists ; demand recognition of the effects of the unconstitutionality of legal marriages concluded abroad for citizens and her husband same-sex spouses made by Relu Adrian Coman and Robert Hamilton Clabourn together with ACCEPT.
