Brazilian judicial council orders notaries to recognize same-sex marriage
By Marilia Brocchetto, CNN
May 15, 2013 -- Updated 1228 GMT (2028 HKT)
[1] (CNN) -- The Brazilian National Council of Justice, which oversees the nation's judiciary, passed a
resolution Tuesday that denies notaries the right to refuse to perform same-sex marriages.
In Brazil, notaries officiate marriages and civil unions.
Recently, 12 Brazilian states began allowing same-sex couples to marry or convert their civil
[5] unions into marriages. However, since the Supreme Court does not carry legislative powers, it was up
to each notary to officiate at their discretion, and many refused, citing the lack of law.
Joaquim Barbosa, president of the Council of Justice, said in the decision that notaries cannot
continue to refuse to "perform a civil wedding or the conversion of a stable civil union into a marriage
between persons of the same sex."
[10] Barbosa, who also presides over the Supreme Court, says the resolution merely follows the
transformation of society.
"Our society goes through many changes, and the National Council of Justice cannot be
indifferent to them," he said.
Civil unions between same-sex couples have been recognized in Brazil since 2011, after the
[15] Supreme Court ruled that the same rights and rules that apply to "stable unions" of heterosexual
couples would apply to same-sex couples, including the right to joint declaration of income tax,
pension, inheritance and property sharing. People in same-sex unions are also allowed to extend
health benefits to their partners, following the same rules applied to heterosexual couples.
Brazilian lawmakers have debated same-sex marriage, but in most cases, the bills introduced
[20] have not progressed through Congress.
Brazilian neighbors Uruguay and Argentina are the only other two countries in Latin America that
have laws allowing same-sex couples to marry.

Are you planning a trip to Paris? You can visit the City of Light on a bike!
Every day, Julian gets up, gets dressed and goes to work in Paris, France. He usually goes by car, but this week is different. Julian isn’t taking his car, he’s going by bike.
Julian is one of Paris’s 195,000 users of Vélib’, a bicycle hire network which started in 2007. With Vélib’, people can go to a special station and take a bicycle. They take it where they want to go, and leave it at another station. There are thousands of Vélib’ stations around the city with over 20,000 bicycles at their disposal.
It isn’t only in France. Across Europe, projects like Vélib’ are becoming popular. People are traveling more by bicycle and less by car. There are urban bicycle networks in cities in Spain, England, Austria, Germany, Holland, Denmark and Finland. Other countries across Europe are thinking of similar projects.
‘I think it’s great. The trip to work is not very long, I feel good and it’s cheap’, says Julian.
Pick a Vélib’ up from one station and then leave it at another one near your destination. What could be easier than that?
