| Summary: | The civil union between persons of the same sex is analyzed in this essay through the
discussion of the roots of the anti-homosexual prejudice and the fight for the citizenship of gays,
lesbians and transgenders in Brazil, and through listing the different manifestations of homofobia
in our social environment. We deconstruct the contrary opinions against the homosexual marriage,
justifying with etho-historical evidences the extending of equal rights to the couples of the same
sex, including the legal recognition of the civil union. |
