Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights are liberal in Rio de Janeiro. Same-sex marriage is legal in the state.

Recognition of same-sex unions[edit]

On 17 April 2013, The General Magistrate of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, Judge Valmir de Oliveira Silva, published a legal ruling authorizing same-sex marriage in the state if local judges agree. Same sex weddings are poised to begin in the coming days.[7] According to the ruling (25/2013), a couples' request must be registered by civil registry officers, who have to give 15 days for the district to decide if they agree. If they don't agree, the marriage cannot proceed.[8]

LGBT adoption[edit]
