Meets basic criteria - length, created in the last day, reliable sources, no apparent copyvios. My only concern is the structure of the article, which could give the impression that this is still a work in progress. The single sentence paragraphs are especially a concern, which is discouraged by MOS. For example, for the "Legality of same-sex sexual activity" paragraph, is there any information about the history of same-sex relationships in Santa Catarina between 1830 and 2013 that might be worthy of inclusion here? Or for the "Non-binary people" section, maybe some updates could be included. For example, is there any data for how many people in the state have been legally recognized as nonbinary since 2021? Or with regards to the transgender sports bill, maybe there is information about the background of this legislation and subsequent reactions and effects that would be worthy of inclusion. Just a few thoughts for potential improvements. Bneu2013 (talk) 23:27, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Bneu2013 I assume the structure is based on other articles on Category:LGBTQ rights in Brazil by state or district, some of which have {{Empty section}} (eg. LGBTQ rights in Piauí) or {{Expand section}} (eg. LGBTQ rights in Acre). While for previous centuries, I couldn't find anything specific looking at LGBTQ history in Brazil. The article focuses on the juridical rights (mostly statutory laws or legislation), I can see why the gaps would stand unless it becomes a WP:BCA, and changing scope would warrant a title change as well. The paragraphs can go under the section instead of subsections. WP:HEY about the gender section. Dudzcar (talk) 00:28, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This should be fine, but I'd prefer a second opinion just to make sure this is adequate. I don't consider this to be a BCA in the same manner as some of the examples used in the guideline. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:41, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
