The law to combat homophobia in the State of São Paulo, 10,948 / 01, turns 19 this Thursday (5). Public and civil society companies and institutions will take actions on their social networks, in favor of sexual and gender diversity. The hashtags #SPagainstHomophobia, #SPagainstTransphobia, #SPagainstLGBTphobia, and #MoreReSPect will be in evidence on the networks.

I- perform any type of violent, embarrassing, intimidating or vexatious action,
moral, ethical, philosophical or psychological;

public or private, open to the public;

function of the employee’s sexual orientation;
