A Current

This paper focuses on the new civil partnership starting with the decision of 11.7.2013 ECHR condemning Greece because of the exclusion of same-sex couples from civil partnership. On the occasion of this condemnation a total abolition of civil partnership would be a temporary and regressive solution.By n. 4356 / 2015 the institution of civil partnership was reformed and the couple is considered as married regarding their interpersonal relations and in the remaining relationships the focus is on private autonomy. The legislative assimilation of the comrades who have signed a civil partnership with a married couple cannot work in the field of affinity with children. The regulatory model of different sex parents and the law of medically assisted reproduction are still dominant. This act of the legislature does not constitute a legal limbo but a conscious choice, which according to the writer does not infringe the principle of equality and Article 4 of the ECHR.Finally, it is important to say that a current study made by the lawmaking Committee of the Ministry of Justice for sex identification could modify a lot of things in the field of family law.

This paper investigates conflicting narratives available to lesbian and gay couples as a result of marriage and civil partnership. Whereas marginalisation may have made stories of exclusion particularly resonant for same-sex couples, marriage and civil partnership offer scope for new stories around inclusion and equality. Drawing on empirical research with married and civil partner same-sex couples in the UK, US and Canada, the paper contrasts couples’ atrocity stories with new stories about acceptance and inclusion. The paper argues that these new stories should be seen as triumph stories that point towards a tangible impact arising from marriage equality and civil partnership. However, the presence of atrocity stories alongside these triumph stories provides evidence of a more limited policy impact. In conclusion, the paper highlights the relevance of atrocity stories in an emerging area of public policy, as well as the likelihood of triumph stories being relevant in other contexts.

A Current

The forms of address constitute a complex system that regulates the interpersonal relations created in the situation of communication. It is a pragmatic category with direct impact on the relations established by each social and linguistic community. As we have already mentioned in a previous unpublished communication, some forms of pronominal address, the forms Tu, Vós, Você and Vocês are a current social concern, which speakers refer to on social networks but also in more traditional public discourses, such as political discourse and media discourse or academic discourse. We aim to analyse and systematize the way in which speakers represent, in explicit comments, but also implicitly, the functions and values of these forms of address in the construction of a (im)polite speech. Within a discursive-pragmatic approach, the present analysis combines interpersonal relations and the politeness theory, in particular the pragmatic concept of face. Data for analysis were collected from web sites, namely blogs and Facebook.

Sexual Category

This article analyzes how parenthood gets established as a defined sexual category predicated on the exclusion of imagined deviance. Examining the Greek state's policies on reproduction, public discourses over non-heterosexual kinship, and the LGBT movement’s claims for the institutional recognition of same-sex parenthood, I analyze the circulation of sexual concepts and ideas through the cultural notion of parenthood, their imbrication with policies on family and reproduction, and their connection to broader national, political, and reproductive imaginaries. Through a careful reading of the “Greek case,” a nation where same-sex couples can now enter a civil partnership, but who nevertheless lack any legal recognition of same-sex parenting, I argue that political attachments to parenthood have implications for understanding other forms of institutionalized reproduction, including the academic re/production of scholarship on kinship and sexuality, labor law, and the reproduction of state authority.

Civil Partnership

This chapter discusses the scope of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (CPA 2004) which came into force on 5 December 2005 and the formation of civil partnerships. It outlines civil partnership and same-sex marriage under The Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act 2013. It also explains the differences between civil partnership and marriage. The CPA 2004 enables same-sex couples to form legally recognized civil partnerships. Once a partnership has been formed, civil partners assume many legal rights and responsibilities for each other, third parties, and the State. It does explain that adultery, however, is not a fact to establish the ground for dissolution of a civil partnership as it is in marriage.

Quo Vadis

This article discusses and compares the different concepts of civil partnership around the globe: either as functional equivalent to marriage for same-sex couples only or as an alternative to marriage for all couples. It analyses its declining role in the wake of widespread marriage equality reforms and then discusses, in particular, the current position of England and Wales, and Scotland, where ill-conceived law reform has led to a situation in which same-sex couples are privileged and opposite-sex couples are discriminated against.
