In the article is investigated the concept and nature of identity as self-determination, self-identification as a representative of a particular social group in the context of the human rights for LGBT. It is proved that the identity itself cannot be a basis for discrimination. Attention is drawn to the importance of the immediate implementation of the principle of respect for the identity of the person, combating and prevention of marginalization and demonization of minorities.It is reported that acts on human rights of international importance and legislation of the most countries of the world, including Ukraine, are based on the principles of justice, equality and non-discrimination. The author justifies the position that the lack of effective mechanism of protection of human rights and non-discrimination based on sexual orientation both at national and municipal levels inevitably conflict with the ideas of social legal state and civil society. In this regard, it is concluded that the development of an effective human rights protection municipal mechanism and prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation are a significant target to achieve.
