- Description
- In dit artikel uit de Rijksbegroting 2005 staat het emancipatiebeleid van de Nederlandse overheid centraal. Het algemene doel van het beleid is het bevorderen van gelijke rechten, kansen, vrijheden en (sociale) verantwoordelijkheden in de maatschappij voor vrouwen en mannen. Belangrijke uitgangspunten voor het Nederlandse emancipatiebeleid zijn de Wet Gelijke behandeling en het VN Vrouwenverdrag ter uitbanning van alle vormen van discriminatie van vrouwen.

- On May 20 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a profoundly important and enlightened ruling concerning the rights of gays and lesbians. It overturned Amendment 2 to Colorado's Constitution, an amendment which, in essence, established state-sanctioned discrimination against gays and lesbians. Amendment 2 had sought to prevent the State of Colorado (and any local government in that state) from passing legislation to protect the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians. In rendering its decision, Justice Kennedy, writing for a 6-3 majority, noted that 'the amendment seems inexplicable by anything but animus toward the class that it affects:' and that 'it identifies persons by a single trait and then denies them protection across the board. The resulting disqualification of a class of persons from the right to seek specific protection from the law is unprecedented in our jurisprudence.' And in ruling that Amendment 2 violated the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause, the Court said: 'We must conclude that Amendment 2 classifies homosexuals, not to further a proper legislative end, but to make them unequal to everyone else. This Colorado cannot do.' Leaders in the gay and lesbian movement were quick to hail this decision as a great day for fair-minded Americans. As academics and practitioners begin to debate the ultimate impact of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Romer v. Evans, it is important to consider its immediate effect on ballot measures concerning the rights of lesbians, gays and bisexuals around the country. Other commentators in this special will analyze the constitutional arguments involved in Romer so the focus will instead be on some of the remaining anti-gay ballot initiatives that may survive constitutional attack, and it will also address problems with measures that may be raised in the future. It is important to recognize that many laypersons may falsely believe that all anti-gay ballot measures have been declared invalid pursuant to Romer. Part I of this essay will very briefly review the holding in Romer. Part II will discuss the ballot measure process, explaining the differences between the different type of measures, the history of the process, and the advantages and disadvantages of it. Part III will discuss the impact of Romer on these ballot proposals. Finally, the essay will consider the debate about how the lesbian, gay, and bisexual movement should devote its resources in dealing with ballot measures.
