freedom of intimate association

The constitutional right of privacy to form and preserve certain intimate human relationships without intrusion by the state because the relationships safeguard individual freedom.

• The group relationships protected by the right to freedom of intimate association are familial in nature and are characterized by deep attachments, a high degree of commitment, and the sharing of distinctly personal aspects of life. The exclusion of others is an essential characteristic of these relationships.
