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 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.
