From this perspective this contribution will expound about the effective practice and attainment of these rights from the perspective of freedom, justice and solidarity, and also discuss about the profile of homo-affective family and their insertion in the Family Law. To this end, surveys were conducted on published materials about related topics and subsequently some results and considerations were elaborated on the used material. From this research it appears that the laws that defend homosexual rights, specifically related to stable union between people of the same sex has fulfilled its role, however, the society has not kept pace with this evolution, representing a negative social aspect that should pervade the area of Continuing Education, with the support of the government and organized civil society.
