Brazilian Congressional Bill No. 1151
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Former congresswoman Marta Suplicy bill project 1151 aims to change Brazilian federal law in order to establish same-sex civil unions[citation needed]. The bill had been pending in the House since 1995 and was the theme of the 2005 São Paulo Gay Pride Parade[citation needed]. The bill has been debated many times[citation needed], but has never been brought to a vote. Then-Speaker of the House Severino Cavalcanti was expected to end debate and bring the bill to a vote in late 2005, but corruption charges forced his resignation.[citation needed] Despite the anticipated vote, Calvalcanti strongly opposed the bill[citation needed].
