Today's Video Focus: Some same-sex couples in Brazil are rushing to get married, fearful that
right-wing President-elect Jair Bolsonaro will challenge their right to
wed after taking office next year.
Mr Bolsonaro has been criticised for homophobic comments, including
saying that he would rather have a dead son than a gay son.
Brazil legalised same-sex marriage in 2013.
Mr Bolsonaro has said gay people would be "happy with his government"
and lawyers say reversing the law would in any case require a
complicated constitutional amendment.
