| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The paper seeks to analyze how the Turkish Constitutional Court has resolved sexual orientation and gender identity cases and constructed the LGBT+ subject in constitutional terms in its initial forays into this controversy-laden issue. It suggests that, although the Court missed a landmark moment for the protection of sexual minorities, the recognition of sexual orientation as a ground of discrimination in the case law of the Court represents an important step as it appears to have opted for proceeding in a piecemeal fashion in recognizing LGBT+ rights. |
