• Abstract:

  The aim of this article is to analyze anti-discrimination law in the light of the 1988 Federal Constitution to ensure non-discrimination based on sexual orientation. The methodology used was bibliographical research, using the doctrine of Adilson José Moreira, advisory opinion OC-24/17 of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and decisions of the Federal Supreme Court. The results indicate that, despite progress, discrimination based on sexual orientation remains a problem. Therefore, the application of anti-discrimination law depends on a combination of specific legislation, accessible redress mechanisms, inclusive public policies and a continuous effort by social movements to promote awareness and acceptance of sexual diversity.
