Gay Rights: a New Orientation for Europe?

2002/04/03
Gay and Lesbian Rights and EU Enlargement
Joke Swiebel
"What can be done in the framework of the EU accession process to promote gay rights? What has been done so far - what are the achievements on which we have to build?"

Hungary's Pepsi Island Case
József Kárpáti and Bea Sandor
"A Hungarian court recently ruled against an attempt by local officials to bar gays from a cultural festival. More legal reform is needed to ensure the same thing doesn't happen again."

Portuguese Law and Sexual Orientation
Ana Cristina Santos
"Portugal finds itself in an ambiguous position today, attempting both to defend the principles of equality promoted by the EU and, at the same time, to uphold the country's conservative moral standards, resulting from centuries of religious tradition and a lack of social debate."

Poor Laws, Poor Judgment: Gay Rights and Sex Equality before the European Court of Justice
Petra Jeney
"Few rulings on gay and lesbian rights have reached the ECJ - those that have show that a narrow focus on gender discrimination has inhibited the court from discerning a broader right to non-discrimination."
