We have already seen “thruples” of three persons fight against the duo-normative diarchy, including three women, three men, and mixed sex triads, from the United States to Thailand, with political support in the United Kingdom. Now legal recognition in Brazil is coming true… to a degree:
“The happy trio, who reportedly have shared a bed for years and say they want to raise a child, took an oath of love in early October in the presence of Rio de Janeiro notary public Fernanda de Freitas Leitao.”
While this isn’t formally recognized as a marriage, it is a civil union based on a Brazilian Supreme Court ruling authorizing “notary publics to hold civil union ceremonies for gay and lesbian couples.”
Their lawyer goes on to explain how this could lead to full “rights” being granted:
“But the civil union is still a big step, according to the lawyer.
“‘If they seek these rights before a court, they could obtain them — and I think they will,’ Leitao said.”
Further:
“But the civil union is still a big step, according to the lawyer.
“‘If they seek these rights before a court, they could obtain them — and I think they will,’ Leitao said.”
Much how “civil unions” were offered as a compromise in the United States, only later to be used as a justification for legalizing Gay “marriage” across the country, this polyamorous civil union may very well end up smashing the duo-normative diarchy in Brazil.
