BERNAL GUZMAN, Ángela Patricia. FAMILY AS A HUMAN RIGHT OF THE LGBTI COMUNITY IN COLOMBIA. Prolegómenos [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.36, pp.15-28. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/dere.932.

The protection of family and equality are human rights established in a number of international instruments as well as the Political Constitution of Colombia, these however no place for people of the same sex who decided to have a family, since at present, moral and religious concepts have prevented this kind of family to exist. This article seeks to analyze and support the need for a conceptual and constitutional change regarding the protection of human rights of same-sex couples who decide to have a family, given the opposing positions, in order to defend the thesis that the institution of marriage for same-sex couples should be supported on a new constitutional notion of article 42 of the Constitution, to henceforth change the rules implementing that article.

Keywords : Family; marriage; same-sex couples; human rights.
