17.PARCERIAS PARA ATINGIR METAS
“O ser humano tem se deixado levar pelo poderoso encantamento que o faz acreditar ser vítima do sistema e das situações negativas da vida. Mas as soluções que buscamos não serão encontrada enquanto estivermos apontando o dedo para o outro e reclamando de braços cruzados. Precisamos agir e unir forças para criarmos um mundo melhor. Nossa maior força se manifesta quando unimos nossos dons e talentos e os colocamos a serviço do bem maior.”

"Human beings have been driven by the powerful enchantment that makes us believe we are victims of the system and the negative situations in our lives. However, the solutions we seek will not be found while we are pointing the finger at each other and complaining idly. We need to take action and join forces to create a better world. Our greatest strength is manifested when we unite our gifts and talents and put them at service of the greater good."

16.PAZ E JUSTIÇA
“O segredo da paz é estarmos unidos e felizes, independentemente das nossas diferenças. Porque não é possível globalizar (unificar) a cultura, as etnias e a religião. Tentar fazer isso apenas estimula a violência. Você não pode obrigar o outro a pensar como você. Por isso, a única maneira de vivermos em paz e harmonia é ajudando uns aos outros e respeitando as diferenças.”

Via Huffington: Marriage Equality Opponents Need to Admit Actual Reason for Their Loss
It is well beyond time that the lgbt community recognize and call out
this ridiculous Kim Davis drama for what it is - merely a sideshow to
cover up the fact that the overall case against marriage equality was
nothing more than a pitiful delusion. It was a sad pursuit run by people
who had more money and influence than common sense; more gall than
love; and more ways to get their message out, but absolutely no way to
make it more palpable or more flavorable than the bland, watery
indigestible stew of discrimination that it was.
In the early days of the fight, marriage equality opponents were on an incredible streak via their ability to get state after state to pass anti-marriage equality laws. They, led mostly by the National Organization for Marriage, were riding high in their glory. It didn't matter that their talking points about "marriage uniting the two halves of humanity" was basic balderdash repeated by one spokesperson (NOM president Brian Brown) who spoke out of the side of his mouth in a monotone worthy of a character from an Ed Wood movie. It didn't matter that their other spokesperson (Maggie Gallagher) practically oozed false sincerity and brazenly lied about her anti-gay animus even when confronted with evidence of it.
And it certainly didn't matter that while they whined about falsely being labeled as bigots, they simultaneously ran ads and commercials implying that gays were attempting to corrupt children, even while entities such as Politifact and one of their own supporters called them out on it.
All that mattered were the wins because, as Gallagher once put it, "winning is fun."
But they were so blinded by their wins, they got just a little too overconfident and weren't prepared when the argument shifted away from public votes and into the courtrooms.
I consistently remain amazed about how they were mortified when the courts stepped in. After all, it was the next step. Isn't that how it's done in this country? Laws are passed and if some feel that the laws are unjust, they challenge them in our courts.
It was when gays challenged marriage equality laws via the courts that the masks of false superiority came off and we began to see the true faces of marriage equality foes. They made so many crucial errors and missteps Allow me to address these errors and missteps (and in doing so, I want to speak directly to Brown, Gallagher, other leaders of the anti-marriage equality camp, and possibly anyone else still upset at our victory):

Via WGB: Vatican Reportedly Irked by LGBT Guest List at Pope’s White House Ceremony
"Several guests invited to the White House for the welcoming ceremony
for Pope Francis are reportedly troubling the Vatican including openly
gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, Mateo Williamson, is a former
co-leader of Dignity USA Transgender Caucus, and Sister Simone Campbell,
the pro-choice nun who is executive director of NETWORK, a 44-year-old
national social justice lobbying group. Williamson is the guest of
Vivian Taylor, a trans woman who formerly served as executive director
of Integrity USA, an Episcopal LBGT advocacy group.The WSJ reports:
According to a senior Vatican official, the Holy See worries that any photos of the pope with these guests at the White House welcoming ceremony next Wednesday could be interpreted as an endorsement of their activities.
The tension exemplifies concerns among conservative Catholics, including many bishops, that the White House will use the pope’s visit to play down its differences with church leaders on such contentious issues as same-sex marriage and the contraception mandate in the health care law."
