The PL 2046 of 2024 defines rules to promote respect for diversity of sexual orientation and gender identity. The text is currently being analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies.
The proposal establishes rights for the LGBTQIAPN+ population, which includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual and non-binary people. The “+” sign is used to encompass the plurality of sexual orientations and gender variations.

- Right to intimacy, privacy and family – ensures the right to marry or form a stable union, the exercise of sexual and reproductive rights and the right to custody, guardianship and adoption;
