Thank god. Now i can finally marry Rodney Santiago. 

Brazil’s Supreme Court on Tuesday for the first time upheld a same-sex civil marriage.

In a 4 – 1 vote, the highest federal court ruled that the Constitution “makes it possible for stable civil unions to become marriages”.

Indeed “sexual orientation should not serve as a pretext for excluding families from the legal protection that marriage represents”
