[edit] Update

Could someone please update the article? An update on that ruling on gay marriage that the article said would be expected in late 2006 would be good, as well as the impact on a national level of the 2005 ruling on gay adoption in São Paulo (can gay couples everywhere in the country adopt now, or is it just SP, or just that specific couple).

The first ruling is updated now. The adoption issue still needs to be updated. A.Z. 21:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

It would appear that most of what we can say about Civil unions in Brazil relates to Civil unions in Rio Grande do Sul. I don't think two articles are justified and having them entails unnecessary repetition. Both pages have to discuss Civil unions in Rio Grande do Sul. Other regional pages in the "Civil unions in..." and "Same-sex marriage in..." series have been merged into national pages. For example Civil unions in Toscania, Umbria, Emilia Romagna and Civil unions in Catalonia and other 10 of 17 spanish regions link to Civil unions in Italy and Civil unions in Spain respectively. Both of the latter pages discuss the regional situation. Caveat lector 16:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Supremo Tribunal de Justiça?

There is no such court in Brazil (there is one in Portugal, though). There is a court called Supremo Tribunal Federal and another court called Superior Tribunal de Justiça. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.1.152.194 (talk) 16:43, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

That is correct. Those names all look alike, though. A.Z. 03:54, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
