equanto que em são bento...

no estado americano do connecticut o supremo tribunal considerou que a legislação de uniões de facto para casais de pessoas do mesmo sexo era inconstitucional. será que teremos um dia o nosso tc a pronunciar-se assim assumindo-se a ruptura com a lógica salazarista de isolacionismo?

We conclude that, in light of the history of pernicious discrimination faced by gay men and lesbians, and because the institution of marriage carries it it a status and significance that the newly crated classification of civil unions does not embody, the segregation of heterosexual and homosexual couples into separate institutions constitutes a cognizable harm. We also conclude that our state scheme discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation, for the same reasons that classifications predicated on gender are considered quasi-suspect for the purposes of the equal protection provisions of the United States constitutions…

The state has failed to provide sufficient justification for excluding same sex couples from the institution of marriage.
