| Description | In January 2023, a bill was due to go into effect in Maranhao prohibiting the use of gender-neutral and non-binary language in schools but it was vetoed by State Governor Carlos Brandao. However, in August, the Legislative Assembly overturned his veto. A lawsuit was filed against the Supreme Court for this. This is despite the 2020 Supreme Court ruling that censorship of LGBTIQ+ issues in education was unconstitutional. |
