Generally, non-profit associations exclusively deal with the defense of those minorities or species that are considered most defenseless against the social collective.
Thus, for example, throughout the world and as a consequence of being a minority that is often attacked and discriminated against, homosexuals gather in associations in order to ensure and fight for their rights in any field.
Gays, lesbians, transvestites and transsexuals, among other sexual options, are associated in order to achieve a common goal, which in these cases is as we said to achieve non-discrimination in society and also be able to have all the civil rights with which Heterosexual people count, for example marrying, having children, among others.
In recent decades, associations of this type that exist in the world and that have grown not only in number but also in representation, have made great strides in the recognition of rights and equality before the law with respect to heterosexuals. .
Marriage has undoubtedly been one of the most important achievements that these associations have achieved after years and years of struggle.
In Argentina, for example, the equal marriage law was enacted a few years ago, which precisely allows two individuals of the same sex to marry with the same rights and obligations as a heterosexual couple.
And in another order of things has been the possibility of being able to manage a national identity document with the chosen gender, for example, transsexuals can change their name and sex in their original documents and choose which one represents them.
From this example and from so many other similes in other contexts it is clear and verified the importance of associations of people who fight for a common goal when it comes to achieving precisely those objectives that are proposed.
