A evolução dos direitos LGBTQIAPN+ no Brasil

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the evolution of LGBTQIAP+ rights in Brazil, focusing on the legal recognition of same-sex unions and the resulting social and legislative impacts. The study employed a qualitative and documentary approach, analyzing legislative, jurisprudential, and bibliographical data. Landmark decisions by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), such as ADI 4.277/DF and ADPF 132/RJ, are highlighted as pivotal milestones in securing fundamental rights. These rulings, alongside CNJ Resolution No. 175/2013, expanded the rights of same-sex couples, ensuring civil marriage and patrimonial and inheritance protections. Despite significant progress, legislative and cultural challenges remain. The lack of explicit regulation in the Civil Code and persistent sociocultural resistance hinder the full realization of these rights. Furthermore, regional disparities underline the need for greater uniformity in the application of laws. This study underscores that inclusive public policies and social awareness are essential to consolidating legal and social equality. Strengthening LGBTQIAP+ rights is crucial for building a more just and equitable society grounded in constitutional principles of dignity and equality.
