Los Fueros de la Heterosexualidad en su Ocaso (The Twilight of Straight Supremacy)

Abstract

Aunque varias disciplinas estudien las minorias sexuales, hace falta una interrogacion de fondo de la heterosexualidad, en particular de su estructura social. Siguiendo esa linea, este ensayo examina un cambio importante en la relacion entre las instituciones del derecho y la heterosexualidad. Historicamente, el derecho ayudaba a constituir la heterosexualidad como una formacion social hegemonica. Ahora se empieza a ver lo contrario en ciertos fallos del sistema juridico estadounidense en los cuales se deja de respaldar la idea de la superioridad heterosexual. Lo novedoso de estos casos es que obligan que los defensores de la heteronormatividad articulen y justificasen la discriminacion anti-gay que intentan imponer. Esta tendencia en la doctrina juridica refleja un giro social en favor del trato igual de las minorias sexuales. Historically, legal institutions have worked in unison to make heterosexuality seem like the only natural or worthwhile regime of desire. The resulting discrimination has mobilized sexual minorities into a campaign of private self-help through coming out and a civil rights movement seeking legal reform. Both of these efforts have been successful. As a result, the public policy debate has shifted such that the burdens of proof and persuasion now fall on the proponents of discrimination. Presented at a workshop organized by the Cuban Bar Association, the ALAS Network, and the Cuban Center for Sex Education, this essay examines this shift.
