Al comenzar el siglo XXI hemos sido testigos de un replanteamiento del histórico debate sobre ética y demografía, pues se han priorizado los derechos del individuo sobre el bien público y se ha incluido en tal debate un conjunto de nuevos elementos, en particular la sexualidad. Este cambio está intrínsecamente relacionado con la aparición y el impacto de los movimientos sociales –iniciativas relacionadas con el VIH sida que promueven las organizaciones feministas, gays y lésbicas– interconectados globalmente y capaces de difundir un discurso público relativo a la sexualidad tanto en el terreno de las políticas nacionales como en el de las internacionales. A pesar de los logros obtenidos al abordar los temas de sexualidad y VIH sida en el marco de los derechos humanos, la concepción de las cuestiones éticas relacionadas con el cambio demográfico y la sexualidad no se ha incluido a cabalidad. En este artículo se abordan los aspectos conceptuales y las conclusiones preliminares de una investigación que se ha desarrollado por medio de un estudio y un análisis comparativo entre países relativo a la aparición de un diálogo público en torno al género, la orientación sexual, el VIH sida y otros temas torales en el campo de los estudios de población. AbstractThe beginning of the 21st century has witnessed a reformulation of the historical debate on ethics and demography, since individual rights have been given priority over the public good and a set of new elements, particularly sexuality, have been included in this debate. This change is intrinsically linked to the emergence and impact of social movements-initiatives related to HIV-AIDS promoted by feminist, gay and lesbian organizations that are globally linked and capable of disseminating a public discourse on sexuality within the sphere of both national and international policies. Despite the success achieved in dealing with the issues of sexuality and HIV aids in the framework of human rights, the conception of ethical issues related to demographic change and sexuality has not been fully completed. This article deals with the conceptual aspects and preliminary conclusions of a research project through a study and comparative analysis of countries regarding the emergence of a public dialog on gender, sexual orientation, HIV-AIDS and other key issues in the field of population studies.

<p>South Africa and Spain have similar legislation regarding the decriminalisation of homosexuality and equality and access to Human Rights for the LGBT population. But, the real social experience of homosexual people in the two countries is very different. This article explores homophobia in Africa by describing the real social experiences of the LGBT population in South Africa compared with Spain. The so-called Rainbow Nation, despite its progressive constitution which guarantees LGBT human rights and the absence of discrimination, still contains a high level of homophobia, violence against homosexuals, corrective rapes of Lesbians and a high rate of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men.</p><p><strong>Published online</strong>: 11 December 2017</p>

DEFINING THE LIMITS OF PERMISSIBLE EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA: HOFFMAN V. SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS [2000] 12 BLLR 1365.Perhaps the most positive and exciting aftermath of the apartheid era is the construction of the new South Africa upon the foundation of a Constitution and other legal instruments that are unanimous and unambiguous in two respects. The first is in their proscription of unfair discrimination and the second is in their permission of statutory and other measures aimed at eliminating the effects of past discrimination on those groups of persons who were at the receiving end of same. The provisions of these instruments as well as their tenor and spirit reveal an unmistakable national resolve to break from a culture of racial discrimination to a constitutionally protected culture of human rights for South Africans of all ages, classes and colours. Without doubt, the most important of those provisions is the equality clause of the Bill of Rights contained in the second chapter of the Constitution. This probably follows from a realization of the fact that equality is fundamental to “the maintenance and propagation of human rights in a democratic body politic, particularly in an acutely divided society” such as South Africa.
