Director of Population Administration	2018	24	.pdf	application/pdf	11269	439	51	In Spain, under national law, same-sex marriage is legally recognized and married couples enjoy all the rights as their heterosexual counterparts.110 Additionally, same-sex partners from other EU Member States currently find no additional burdens imposed when attempting to relocate to Spain if utilizing their right to freedom of movement of workers’ family members.111 The same cannot be said for Spaniards relocating to Member States that do not recognize same-sex relationships.112 The current legal apparatus that same-sex spouses face in their relocation within the Union provides for severe inequalities for gay and lesbian Europeans.113 Looking again at Roberto and Miguel, we can see an example of this inequity. B. The European Context Opponents of an inclusive free movement of workers’ family members that includes and protects the rights of same-sex spouses largely point to two specific arguments: the ability of all gay and lesbian EU citizens to individually exert their right to free movement, and the exclusive competence of EU Member States to legislate in the area of family law.	cache/iiclr-22888.pdf	txt/iiclr-22888.txt
