Abstract

The author discusses the rights of the LGBT population in Croatia
using categories from the contemporary Anglo-American political
theory, particulary the concepts crystallized through the debate between the feminist multiculturalists (Fraser, Young) and the liberal
universalists (Barry). The author shows how the private-public split
came under attack from both some feminists and from some eminent
theologians (Ratzinger, Bertone), though this distinction is essential
in solving the problems stemming from sexual differences. The author
tries to show why he thinks the best approach in the struggle for the rights of the LGBT population in Croatia is a combination of the
piecemeal cultural non-revolutionary action and the promotion of the
laws like “the Law on Registered Partnerships”.
