This essay analyzes the emergence of the Portuguese lesbian-gay-bisexual-transsexual (LGBT) movement, identifying actors, alliances, impasses, & possibilities for sexual emancipation in a dominantly & proudly Catholic & heterosexual society. The Portuguese LGBT movement has achieved some power & visibility in the socio-political field since the 1990s. After a decade in which LGBT rights seemed condemned to oblivion on the part of Portuguese legislation, on 15 March 2001, Parliament made history when it passed a law on common-law partnerships for all citizens, independent of their sexual orientation. Finally, I address whether this form of oppression contains potential for emancipation in its broader sense. 59 References. Adapted from the source document.

Discusses global human rights abuses against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, state and societal sanction of abuses, and recommendations for health professionals to advocate for and support LGBT people.
