The last decades have meant an advance in the rights and legal protections of LGTBI community however real equality has not yet been achieved. Societies have discrimination against LGTBI community in all areas especially in the workplace, where they have high rates of unemployment and prostitution. These discriminations end in attacks against people based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity or expression. These are the third more frequent in hate crimes. In addition to national and regional laws in force Spain has two bills whose objective is to achieve real equality in LGTBI matters and to recognize the right of gender self-determination at the national level. The primary objective of that research is to analyze the current situation of LGTBI community in Spain in legal matters.

The Right

To be granted status, refugee claimants have to testify at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). This liminal space is charged with both the promise of liberation and the threat of deportation. Adding to the challenge are the governmental measures that constrain the right to asylum. This paper suggests answers to the question: What language and other discursive features do LGBTIQ claimants have to use to be recognized as refugees? This ethnography is based on fieldwork conducted in Toronto and Vancouver. I will present two vignettes of claimants I accompanied to their hearings. Contrary to heterosexuals, queer asylum seekers have to prove their sexual orientation and/or their gender identity. Truth about their sexuality and persecution is evaluated through the lens of legal technologies, and stereotypes are still common. However, extralegal forms of communication also come into play. New avenues for justice are being fostered by grassroots organizations.
