Demokratičnost družbe se pretežno kaže skozi spoštovanje človekovih pravic najbolj pri ranljivih skupinah, kot so osebe LGBT+. Ta članek zato obravnava analizo predpisov in teoretična izhodišča za varstvo teh oseb s poudarkom na upravnih postopkih, ki so najpogostejši pri uveljavljanju njihovega pravnega položaja. Namen raziskave je identificirati upravne zadeve, v katerih prihaja do kršitev človekovih pravic oseb LGBT+ v Sloveniji, da bi v prihodnje razmere izboljšali. Pri analizi je bilo uporabljenih več raziskovalnih metod, na čelu s preučitvijo letnih poročil Varuha človekovih pravic, s študijami primerov in strukturiranimi intervjuji, na primer predstavnikov nevladne organizacije Legebitra. V razpravi o rezultatih raziskave ugotavljamo, da je prijavljenih kršitev ob sicer ustrezni zlasti procesnopravni ureditvi razmeroma malo, vendar ne zaradi odprtosti družbe in ozaveščenosti potreb teh oseb, temveč zaradi (še) razmeroma nizke stopnje uveljavljanja pravnega varstva.

Democratic societies are largely characterized by their respect for human rights, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the LGBT+ community. This article, therefore, explores the regulations and theoretical grounds for the protection of these individuals, with a focus on administrative procedures, which are most commonly employed in asserting their legal position. The aim of this analysis is to identify instances of administrative violations in Slovenia to improve the situation in the future. The research utilized several methods, including a review of Slovenian Ombudsperson annual reports and case studies, as well as structured interviews with, for example, representatives of LGBT+ individuals from the NGO Legebitra. In the discussion section, the authors argue that although procedural legal regulation is adequate, reported violations are infrequent. This is not necessarily indicative of societal openness and awareness of needs but may be attributed to the (still) low level of enforcement of legal protections.
