Social Development and LGBT rights in Brazil – LGBTIQ+ Lawyers in Brazil

The world has changed. Today the Law and Judiciary are finally beginning the process of social integration of the large LGBT community. The concept of family has developed and now the State also protects same-sex marriages, fact that brings law a step closer to reality.
Even so, much of Brazil’s population still suffers from barbaric acts of discrimination and prejudice related to sexual orientation or identity. Millions of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and transgender people are still, in many ways, being disrespected as citizens and receiving unequal treatment.
As said, the situation has greatly improved in recent years, but we still need to go further. If it is true that in Brazil we are “all equal before the law, without distinction of any kind”, so the unequal treatment given of LGBT+ population must end. And this doesn’t refer only to personal attacks originated from homophobia, biphobia or lesbophobia. Old public policies must keep changing. Laws and jurisprudence must evolve to adapt to this reality.

This is done only with determination. We are one of the very few Law Firms in Brazil specialized in homosexual rights. We publicly embraced the cause of LGBT people and fight for the defense of their rights Civil.

Many of these situations can now be corrected with the appropriate legal remedies, while others are still under discussion and continue to generate controversy.
