Abstract
Even though neither the main Human Rights treaties -including the 1948 Declaration- nor those of the International Law of Refugees mention LGBTI individuals, during the last decades their protection has been expanded through its interpretation to protect thos who scape from persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. However, they have often encountered a serious obstacle: the persistence of stereotypes and preconceptions on gender, sexuality or behavior that undermine their credibility. In this paper we will assess the most pervasive assumptions and how the Court of Justice of the European Union has coped with them.
