Dear friends,
If you would have told me a few years ago that thousands of people would rally behind me and my son Camilo in our call for equality in Brazil, I would have thought you were crazy. But back then, I also didn't know about All Out.
My name is Georgina and I'm one of the Equality Moms, a group in Brazil fighting for the rights of our lesbian, gay, bi, and trans children. When an anti-gay Brazilian politician said he'd "rather have a dead son than a gay son," All Out helped form Equality Moms.
Before I knew it, our rallying cry for equality was everywhere. Giant adverts of us and our children were on display inside Congress! We even marched at the front of São Paulo's Pride Parade – the biggest Pride parade in the world. We changed hearts and minds across Brazil.
But life for lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people in Brazil is still incredibly tough. It's estimated that every 27 hours, a lesbian, gay, bi, or trans person is killed in Brazil. That's why All Out still needs your help.They won't be able to keep up the fight for equality in Brazil and around the world, without the support of people like you.
Anti-gay politicians are only making things worse here in Brazil. Right now, religious extremists in Congress are trying to legally change the definition of family to only include unions between a man and a woman. But All Out is working with activists on the frontline to help fight it.
This month, All Out is celebrating its fifth birthday. That means they've been fighting for equality in Brazil and around the world for five years, alongside people like me and my son. Thousands of All Out members have joined our fight, signing petitions and speaking out, whenever we need you.
But to keep this work going next year, we need your support. Can you chip in €5 today? Show your pride and support for love and equality with your free LOVE ALWAYS WINS sticker:
