Abstract

(English) The paper explores the right of non-discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation from the perspective of the European Union. In the first part, it analyses how Member States address the issue and EU citizen’s perception on the topic. Then, using a ECJ case law, the paper analyses EU legislation and how it interacts with national systems, highlighting the means by which EU citizens can act in order to see their rights respected. The paper also explores the gaps present in EU legislation and how these gaps could affect the fruition of the rights bound to EU citizenship. The paper concludes that despite the presence of important gaps and limitations deriving from the Treaties, the European Union’s institutions, and in particular, the European Court of Justice play a fundamental role in the expansion and the respect of these rights. (Italiano) L’articolo esplora il diritto di non-discriminazione sulla base delle tendenze sessuali da un punto di vista europeo. Nella prima parte, analizza come gli stati membri affrontano il problema e le percezioni dei cittadini europei rispetto all’argomento in questione. Successivamente, utilizzando una sentenza della CGUE, l’articolo analizza la legislazione europea e come questa interagisce con gli ordinamenti nazionali, sottolineando i metodi attraverso i quali i cittadini europei possono agire per veder tutelati i propri diritti. L’articolo altresì esplora i gap presenti nella legislazione europea e come questi possono influenzare la fruizione dei diritti legati alla cittadinanza europea. L’articolo conclude che nonostante la presenza di gap e limiti importanti, derivanti dai trattati, le istituzioni dell’Unione Europea ed in particolare la Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione Europea giocano un ruolo fondamentale rispetto all’espansione, al riconoscimento e al rispetto di questi diritti.
