Comrade Wood pointed out the recognition of same-sex unions in 2011, the Quotas Law in 2012, and the end of the 6x1 work schedule, scheduled for 2026 upon its publication, as three of the most important events in Brazil's recent history in the struggle for rights. Regarding same-sex unions, he wrote that Marta Suplicy had presented the first proposal on the subject in 1995 and that, in 2004, the Lula administration reinforced the agenda with the Brazil Without Homophobia project. The achievement, according to the author, came in 2011. Concerning the Quotas Law, he stated that the government sent to Congress, in 2004, Bill 3,627/2004, which advocated for spots for students from public schools, especially blacks and indigenous people, in federal institutions. He also highlighted that, in 2012, Senator Ana Rita (PT-ES) was the rapporteur of the proposal in the Senate's Constitution and Justice Commission and advocated for ethnic-racial criteria. He then wrote that President Dilma sanctioned the law. Wood described the reduction of the 6x1 work schedule as an old struggle. According to him, a constitutional amendment on the reduction of working hours was presented in the Senate in 2015, and another proposal was presented in 2019 by a politician from the PT. Starting in 2023, he claimed, the mobilization was primarily led by Rick Azevedo and Erika Hilton. The author also attributed the main popular achievements since the 1988 Constitution to the political left in the country and said they should always be valued. Finally, he argued that the agendas should not focus on issues like a hypothetical bathroom, the "gay kit," or interests that, in his assessment, benefitted only the ruling class. #DireitosHumanos #LutaPelaIgualdade #JustiçaSocial (translated)

Bieber Novidade stated that Justin Bieber had defended, on different occasions, the respect and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people. According to the publication, in 2011 the singer said that someone's homosexuality should not affect others. In 2018, after hearing a queer fan report the homophobia she faced, he stated that it was unacceptable, lamented the situation, and invited her to his church, saying she would be welcome. The publication contrasted these statements with remarks from Flávio Bolsonaro, who, according to the author, had said he would not be proud to have a gay son and would not feel comfortable seeing him present his boyfriend. Bieber Novidade also stated that Jair Bolsonaro had declared he would not be proud to have a gay son. The author noted that this difference should be remembered when LGBTQIA+ people are turned into political issues or their rights and dignity are treated as negotiable. He added that respect should not be a matter of left or right. #LGBTQIA #Respeito #DireitosHumanos (translated)

Palatakseni siihen alakoulun rasismikoulutukseen, johon siis lapseni ei osallistunut, niin eilen ollut ne koulutuskokonaisuuden tunnit ja kaverit jotka osallistuneet niihin, kertoneet että siellä on puhuttu mm. homofobiasta. Miten homofobia liittyy rasismiin? Ja kyllä, pyydän hanketyöntekijältä koulutuksen sisällön nähtäville ja kyllä, olen ollut yhteydessä Kouvolan kaupunkiin asian tiimoilta ja kyllä, vaadin että jatkossa koulujen on kerrottava selkeästi Wilma-viesteissä että tällaiset propagandaa sisältävät hankehömpät on vapaaehtoisia eikä niihin ole pakko osallistua ja koululla on velvollisuus järjestää niiden ajaksi korvaavaa toimintaa, koska näin itse asiassa asian laita todellisuudessa kuulemma on. #rasismi #homofobia #koulutus
