In 2006, a male gay couple from Catanduva, São Paulo officially adopted a five-year-old girl.[10]
Same-sex marriage

Rights advocacy
SOMOS, an LGBT rights organization, was established in 1980 in São Paulo, at the same time as Gay Group of Bahia was established in Bahia.
Homophobia
In 2005, the Latin American Center of Human Rights in Sexuality (Clam) interviewed participants in the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade and found that 65% of their respondents had experienced hate speech and/or suffered physical aggression.[citation needed]
The Richarlyson affair occurred in which a judge was brought before the Justice Council of São Paulo for stating in court that soccer is a "virile, masculine sport and not a homosexual one." However, afterwards the same judge apologized and afterwards decided to annul the decision he wrote.[14]
