After democratic debates in the National Constituent Assembly, the Constitution of Republic was promulgated, embodying in its text plural values, principles and rights. Normatively, it has become the political and moral parameter of normative production and of the construction of society, in which fundamental rights present themselves as limits for legal and political discourses. In this context, the growing fundamentalist conservative wave notably in the National Congress puts at risk the constitutional project of equality and freedom of minorities. Specifically, LGBT + people endure Parliament's conservative offensive, stressing the difficulty of tolerance over legislative proposals to use institutional and legal systems to restrict the fundamental rights of that minority.
