This essay analyses the fundamental right to free sexual orientation choice. It defends homoaffectivity as a late recognized fundamental right, demonstrating that in practice the Ancient people tolerated the sexual practice between same-sex persons. It demonstrates that the Brazilian Supreme Court recent understanding in 2011 consists in a strong precedent for recognizing same-sex marriage, confirmed in 2011 by a decision of the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice and in 2013 by the Brazilian National Council of Justice with a Resolution. It points out the possibility of converting consensual same-sex marriage in civil same-sex marriage. As conclusion remarks it is shown that Brazilian Constitution allows both consensual and civil (formal) same-sex marriages.
