DUQUE ACOSTA, Carlos Andrés. Aproximación teórica al debate por el reconocimiento político, jurídico y social del sector LGTBIQ. CS [online]. 2008, n.2, pp.181-208. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i2.417.

The traditional discrimination against non-heterosexual orientations and expressions has been losing its legitimacy during the last decades. This fact does not imply, however, that there is unanimity about which theoretical and discursive basis is more pertinent for the demand of rights for gays, lesbians and transsexuals, amongst others. This article critically revises three political paradigms that are incumbent in this debate: the politics of liberalism, the politics of difference and the politics of cultural transformation. Thereafter, it discusses the theoretical proposal of Nancy Fraser to see the lack of recognition as a status subordination problem, which is complemented by Chantal Mouffe's proposal for the construction of radical democracy.
