Political parties involved in the dispute for recognition of homoparental families

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the theme of homoparental families based on bills proposed in Brazil to legalize same-sex civil union, particularly looking at the proposing lawmakers’ political parties. It is a documentary research involving the bills that proposed the recognition of same-sex civil union, as well as the codes of ethics and the platforms of the political parties: PT, PR and PSOL. One conclusion points to the need for left-wing political parties to play a leading role in the struggles to guarantee freedom of sexual orientation and recognition of human diversity in society as a whole.
