247 - One of the priorities of President Dilma Rousseff (PT) in this second term will pass a law that would criminalize homophobia. Religious leaders are against the proposal. Mandatory investigation to consequent deaths of police actions should also be another priority of the current government.

A criminalization of homophobia project is under discussion for eight years in the Senate, but shall be filed by transact more than two terms, as required by statute.
Entities fighting for the rights of homosexuals as the NGO and the Gay Group of Bahia considered the filing "a disaster". These movements want homophobia is treated as a crime of racism.
According to research done by Grupo Gay da Bahia, at least 312 gays, lesbians and Brazilian transvestites were murdered in 2013, representing an average of one murder every 28 hours and at the same time, a decrease of 7.7% compared the previous year. However, the entity estimates that 99% of these deaths were motivated by homophobia.
The other proposal of the federal government with regard to a project that provides for investigation of all such killings. A report by the Brazilian Forum on Public Safety pointed out, in November last year, the Brazilian police killed an average of six people per day between 2009 and 2013. There were at least 11,197 less deaths caused by police in these five years.
The number of deaths in this period exceeds the police of the United States, that the ongo 30 years, killed 11,090 people. "They (the deaths) are not investigated, which encourages police illegality," said Deputy Paulo Teixeira (PT-SP), one of the project authors.
