 Theoretical Framework

Initiating this theoretical framework we must emphasize that marriage between

Same-sex people is a Universal Human Rights issue

endorsed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for

Human Rights that considers marriage to be a right that

It assists all people regardless of their sexual orientation.1

Same-sex marriage is the legal recognition that regulates the relationship

and same-sex cohabitation.

Same-sex marriage is the legal recognition that regulates the relationship

and same-sex cohabitation.

To continue with this theoretical foundation it is necessary to emphasize

in the historical background of this controversial topic.

In ancient Greece homosexuality was accepted; In classical Europe,

Some of the ancient Roman societies tolerated and celebrated the

same-sex relationships, but it cannot be proven that

These unions were socially recognized as marriages.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, no traces of the

concept of same-sex marriage comparable to

Heterosexual marriage of universal validity.

In pre-Columbian times, before the arrival of Europeans to the continent

Americans, the natives or Indians of these lands, and most of their

2
 civilizations had more respect and tolerance for people

homosexuals. In Central America, the Caribbean islands, and North America,

homosexuals

They were often regarded as special, magical, gifted beings.

of supernatural powers whose proximity augured good luck.

In Medieval Europe, homosexual relations were much less

accepted than in the classical world. In the nineteenth century, like certain religious

leaders of the Ecuador of the Century

XXI, considered homosexuality as a disease, but this thesis

it was refuted by Charles Kinsey, who showed that among homosexuals

and heterosexuals had no pathological differentiating aspects; The year

In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association eliminated homosexuality from its

list of mental illnesses, and in 1980 it was removed from the Manual of

WHO Classification of Mental Illnesses. From the twentieth century, after the sexual

revolution, the traditional definition of

Marriage began to be changed by some social groups that

They promoted sexual freedom as a subscription to a legal contract

representative of the relationship and coexistence of a couple, based on affection and

A project of life in common, when the couple wants to communicate their reality

before the rest of the members of their community, acquiring the rights and

duties relevant to the current legal formulation. Under that condition

New to marriage, the idea of a stable homosexual union fits into the

Liberal definition. Homosexual unions are old but attempts

3
 Introducing them into the universal concept of marriage arise at the end of the

XX century. The first homosexual marriage in Spain was that of Marcela and Elisa, the

They married in 1901 in La Coruña. Elisa became

Mario and Father Cortiella sanctified the couple's union. They were discovered

and ended up fleeing Spain. The marriage took place in the Church

Parish of San Jorge in La Coruña. The marriage was collected in

newspapers and parts of Europe. Marcela Gracia Ibeas and Elisa Sánchez

met at the Normal School of Teachers of La Coruña. Years more

Afternoons they met again when they practiced their profession as teachers. In

1901 Elisa masculinized her appearance, invented a past, and became

Mario. Father Cortiella, parish priest of St. George, baptized Mario and married the

couple. The judicial system tried to find them to punish them for their

marriage, so they fled because of the homophobia of the people and the

mockery and ended up in argentina. There it was possible for Marcela to return to

marry after Mario passed away as a "real man"2

The Netherlands is the first country in Europe to have a register of couples

homosexuals, since 1998. Belgium was second. In 2002, Canadá was the first country in

the Américas to adopt this type of

it was Connecticut in 2008 also following a court ruling. Iowa legalized the

gay marriage in 2009. Vermont also approved the marriage between

 people of the same sex and was the first in the United States who did it

by legislative means. New Hampshire's marriage law went into effect

On January 1, 2010, this law was approved by the State Chambers. In

in 2010 it was approved by Washington DC. In the state of California in 2008 the state

Same-sex marriage in Latin America, was only the 15th

of July 2010 when the marriage between

people of the same sex. And also other countries such as Norway, Sweden, Portugal,

South África and

Iceland, in which same-sex marriage is legal throughout its

territory. According to the Spanish constitution establishes that all the rules referring to

Fundamental rights and freedoms must be interpreted in accordance with the

5
 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other treaties on the

matter. So below we briefly list the rules

Referred to:

1. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Art. 16: Men and

Women have the right to marry and found a family.

2. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Art. 23.2:

A man and a woman have the right to marry and found a

family.

3. Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Human Rights

Fundamental Freedoms, Art. 12: Men and women have

right to marry and found a family according to national laws

govern the exercise of this right. We can realize that in none of the aforementioned cases

are

mentions that the right to marry is exclusively between

man and woman. This allows for the possibility that marriage can also be interpreted as

being

both heterosexual and homosexual, and if only we were to refer to a

Marriage between people of the opposite sex would be to ignore that society

It is constantly evolving and concepts vary. Until 1997 in our country homosexuality was

criminalized, in the

516 of the Ecuadorian Penal Code established a penalty of four to eight

Years in prison for the couple. We can realize the total discrimination

towards homosexuals.

 Conclusions

• Marriage is considered to be a right for all

people regardless of their sexual orientation, supported by

the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Human rights

• The rules relating to fundamental rights and freedoms are

must be interpreted in accordance with the Universal Bill of Rights

Humans, and other treatises on the subject.

• There are insufficient reasons to deprive protection

provided by the legal system or the state apparatus to marriages

between persons of the same sex, without incurring a form of

discrimination.
