For years the gay married have been a polemic issue on Brazil. In 2008 was made a petition for the Supreme Court to accept a stable relationship (married) between homosexual people. That stable relationship between gays would have, in the law, the same value as the hetero relationship. The homosexual couples would have right like pension and inheritance. If approved, the proposal would be a legal device the guarantee to the gays their relationship as a couple, but they will not have the same rights as a married couple would have
, like changing the last name. Even in that way, it is a big advance, because the union between homosexual people don’t exist legally, so if the couple separated the case wouldn’t go to the family court, but in civil court where they would discuss the property division. The union is treated like a commercial deal. This isn’t the first time that a proposal like that is made. On Brazil the diversity of sex is required for the confirmation of a stable union. The civil code recognize as an family entity the stable union between a man and a woman, in any moment the gays union is cited. Some Brazilian court already conceded to homosexual couples rights about inheritance( half of the heritage can stay with the partner) , health insurance( inclusion of the partner) , pension when the partner die, and children guard to your partner (if one of the couple is their father or mother genetically) and em
ployment( the sexual option isn’t motive for resignation). Homosexual couples aren’t acknowledged as a family entity. In Rio Grande do Sul the registries work since 2004 with a standard that same how give to homosexual couples a record to their union. In Holland homosexual married is legally since 2001.
