In order to remedy this situation, there is a need for the recognition of the family unit in the discourse of human rights law. There is a need to divorce the state-family relationship in order to allow the family to diversify. As concerns gay youths, the state control of the family unit should exacerbate an already bad situation since the family unit is already gender-biased. Divorcing the family unit from state definition should allow homosexuals to form their own families, as well as allow women to attain individual status in society (Rodgers, 2017). A divorce between the private family and market realm and the public realm should see individual rights being given more space, including gay and lesbian rights. It will allow the state to act against private violations like domestic violence and violence against homosexuals. The claims made by experts are valid because as long as the government continues to define what family is, it will lean to the conservative definitions of family, thus denying women the right to be “equal partners” and gays and lesbians will be denied the right to form a homosexual union.
