Gay union basis for Brazil visa
A Brazilian federal judge has ruled in favor of a citizen's right to sponsor his spouse through a common-law union. David Ian Harrad said he and his longtime Brazilian companion, Toni Reis, sought an injunction preventing his deportation to England. The tourist visas Harrad has relied on since 1996 finally ran out, and the pair asked the courts to grant him a permanent visa on the grounds of their common-law marriage. Brazil's constitution prevents any discrimination including that based on sexual preference.
