Abstract

The Spanish Constitution, in its article devoted to gender equality, executes the express prohibition of any discrimination based on specific reasons for being these reasons suspicious of a kind of discrimination that can be justified by means of historical facts of social, political, legal or, even, cultural nature. The social development ascertains that nowadays there are a series of reasons comparable to those aforementioned, such as sexual orientation, a characteristic which is inherent in human beings, as it has already been depicted in some European Texts and mentioned by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
