A hist\u00f3ria \u00e9 importante porque nos lembra que as comunidades que desfrutamos hoje foram constru\u00eddas por indiv\u00edduos que acreditavam que as pessoas LGBTQIA+ mereciam conex\u00e3o, dignidade e esperan\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ao refletirmos sobre esta semana na hist\u00f3ria da Affirmation, celebramos a nossa funda\u00e7\u00e3o, lembramos aqueles que perdemos e olhamos para o futuro que estamos construindo juntos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entre as vozes que inspiraram gera\u00e7\u00f5es de membros da Affirmation est\u00e1 Sikoki Layton, cujo quinto verso de Vinde, vinde, santos!<\/em> tornou-se uma express\u00e3o preciosa de f\u00e9, resili\u00eancia e pertencimento LGBTQ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Venha, venha gays
e l\u00e9sbicas se alegram!
Junte-se \u00e0 m\u00fasica; cora\u00e7\u00f5es dir\u00e3o.
N\u00f3s somos um
e levante uma voz poderosa!
Na luz devemos habitar.
Ao compartilharmos com orgulho
esta mensagem \u00e9 verdadeira:
Somos filhos gays de Deus
e n\u00f3s tamb\u00e9m somos amados!
Afirme esta verdade e os \u00e2nimos se encher\u00e3o de alegria\u2014
Est\u00e1 tudo bem, est\u00e1 tudo bem!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Essas palavras capturam algo que est\u00e1 no cerne da Affirmation desde o seu in\u00edcio: a cren\u00e7a de que as pessoas LGBTQ merecem comunidade, dignidade, amor e esperan\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrando 49 anos de afirma\u00e7\u00e3o<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Em 11 de junho de 1977, um pequeno grupo de membros LGBTQ da Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos \u00daltimos Dias se reuniu em Salt Lake City para criar o que se tornaria a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o Affirmation: LGBTQ Mormons, Families & Friends (Afirma\u00e7\u00e3o: M\u00f3rmons, Fam\u00edlias e Amigos LGBTQ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numa \u00e9poca em que muitos indiv\u00edduos LGBTQ se sentiam isolados tanto de suas comunidades religiosas quanto do mundo em geral, esses pioneiros criaram algo not\u00e1vel: um lugar onde as pessoas podiam encontrar compreens\u00e3o, amizade e apoio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O que come\u00e7ou como um esfor\u00e7o local se transformou em uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o internacional que atende pessoas LGBTQIA+, suas fam\u00edlias, amigos e aliados em diversos pa\u00edses, culturas e trajet\u00f3rias religiosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante 49 anos, a Affirmation evoluiu junto com as comunidades que serve. Por meio de confer\u00eancias, grupos de apoio, comunidades online, n\u00facleos locais, programas de lideran\u00e7a, conex\u00f5es familiares e amizades pessoais, in\u00fameras vidas foram impactadas por pessoas que escolheram apoiar umas \u00e0s outras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frase \u201cNos unimos e elevamos uma voz poderosa\u201d reflete n\u00e3o apenas a letra de uma m\u00fasica, mas tamb\u00e9m a pr\u00f3pria hist\u00f3ria da Affirmation. Ao longo de quase cinco d\u00e9cadas, milhares de pessoas ajudaram a construir uma comunidade onde indiv\u00edduos LGBTQ+, suas fam\u00edlias e aliados podem encontrar acolhimento e apoio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ao celebrarmos nosso anivers\u00e1rio, homenageamos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Os fundadores que imaginaram um futuro diferente.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Os volunt\u00e1rios que sustentaram a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o durante anos dif\u00edceis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Os l\u00edderes locais que constru\u00edram comunidades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Os doadores que investiram na miss\u00e3o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00c0s fam\u00edlias, amigos e aliados que estiveram ao lado dos entes queridos LGBTQ+.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Os milhares de membros da comunidade cujas hist\u00f3rias continuam a moldar a Affirmation hoje.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Cada conversa, cada amizade, cada ato de servi\u00e7o e cada express\u00e3o de esperan\u00e7a contribuiu para a comunidade que compartilhamos hoje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recordamos as 49 vidas perdidas na boate Pulse e honramos as comunidades que foram para sempre transformadas por essa trag\u00e9dia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Recordando Pulse: O amor \u00e9 mais forte que o \u00f3dio.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Em 12 de junho de 2016, a comunidade LGBTQ+ e o mundo foram abalados pelo tr\u00e1gico ataque \u00e0 boate Pulse em Orlando, Fl\u00f3rida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quarenta e nove pessoas perderam a vida e dezenas ficaram feridas em um ato de viol\u00eancia que afetou in\u00fameras fam\u00edlias, amigos e comunidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Pulse era mais do que uma boate. Para muitos, era um lugar de pertencimento \u2014 um lugar onde as pessoas podiam se reunir, celebrar, se conectar e se sentir seguras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Todos os anos, fazemos uma pausa para lembrar aqueles que perderam a vida e para homenagear os sobreviventes, as fam\u00edlias e as comunidades afetadas pela trag\u00e9dia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    O legado da boate Pulse n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas de luto. \u00c9 tamb\u00e9m uma hist\u00f3ria de resili\u00eancia, solidariedade, compaix\u00e3o e comunidade. Ap\u00f3s a trag\u00e9dia, pessoas de diferentes origens se uniram para se apoiar mutuamente e reafirmar a dignidade e o valor de toda vida humana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ao celebrarmos o 49\u00ba anivers\u00e1rio da Affirmation e lembrarmos as 49 vidas perdidas no Pulse, a conex\u00e3o \u00e9 imposs\u00edvel de ignorar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Um anivers\u00e1rio marca a cria\u00e7\u00e3o de uma comunidade dedicada a ajudar pessoas LGBTQ a encontrarem um lugar de acolhimento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A outra nos lembra por que essas comunidades continuam sendo essenciais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quando o verso de Sikoki proclama que as pessoas LGBTQ s\u00e3o amadas e merecem afirma\u00e7\u00e3o, ele expressa a mesma verdade que emergiu ap\u00f3s o massacre na boate Pulse: nossas vidas importam, nossas comunidades importam e nossa humanidade merece ser honrada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Criar espa\u00e7os de seguran\u00e7a, amor e esperan\u00e7a n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas parte da nossa miss\u00e3o \u2014 \u00e9 uma das maneiras pelas quais honramos aqueles que vieram antes de n\u00f3s e aqueles que perdemos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Que possamos nos lembrar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Que possamos aprender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Que possamos continuar escolhendo o amor em vez do medo, a compaix\u00e3o em vez da divis\u00e3o e a comunidade em vez do isolamento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Olhando para o futuro: Afirma\u00e7\u00e3o em conjunto para 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Embora os anivers\u00e1rios nos convidem a refletir sobre o passado, eles tamb\u00e9m nos incentivam a olhar para o futuro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Temos o prazer de anunciar o Affirmation Together 2026, agendado para 16 e 17 de outubro de 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    O Together 2026 representa uma nova abordagem para o engajamento comunit\u00e1rio. Em vez de se concentrar exclusivamente em um modelo de confer\u00eancia tradicional, o evento est\u00e1 sendo projetado para fortalecer as comunidades locais, aumentar a acessibilidade, expandir a participa\u00e7\u00e3o e criar oportunidades de conex\u00e3o entre regi\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A vis\u00e3o atual inclui:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Centros de encontro regionais<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Oportunidades de participa\u00e7\u00e3o virtual<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Desenvolvimento de lideran\u00e7a<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fortalecimento do cap\u00edtulo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Atividades de constru\u00e7\u00e3o de comunidade<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Engajamento global<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Nosso objetivo \u00e9 simples: ajudar mais pessoas a encontrar conex\u00f5es significativas e um sentimento de pertencimento, independentemente de onde vivam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00c0 medida que a Affirmation cresce internacionalmente e se prepara para seu 50\u00ba anivers\u00e1rio, acreditamos que o futuro da constru\u00e7\u00e3o de comunidades exige tanto relacionamentos locais quanto conex\u00f5es globais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      O projeto Together 2026 \u00e9 um passo nessa jornada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Mais detalhes, locais, palestrantes e oportunidades de participa\u00e7\u00e3o ser\u00e3o anunciados nos pr\u00f3ximos meses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Olhando para os pr\u00f3ximos 50 anos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      No pr\u00f3ximo ano, a Affirmation celebrar\u00e1 seu 50\u00ba anivers\u00e1rio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Anivers\u00e1rios marcantes oferecem uma oportunidade n\u00e3o apenas para celebrar conquistas, mas tamb\u00e9m para refletir sobre o futuro que queremos construir juntos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As necessidades de pessoas LGBTQIA+, suas fam\u00edlias, amigos e aliados continuam a evoluir. Novas gera\u00e7\u00f5es est\u00e3o encontrando suas vozes. Novas lideran\u00e7as est\u00e3o surgindo. Novas comunidades est\u00e3o se formando ao redor do mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      O trabalho de criar seguran\u00e7a, amor e esperan\u00e7a nunca termina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Enquanto nos preparamos para este importante marco, convidamos voc\u00ea a refletir sobre sua pr\u00f3pria conex\u00e3o com a Afirma\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Talvez voc\u00ea tenha participado de uma confer\u00eancia que mudou sua vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Talvez voc\u00ea tenha encontrado amizade em uma comunidade online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Talvez voc\u00ea tenha encontrado apoio em um momento dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Talvez voc\u00ea tenha ajudado algu\u00e9m a se sentir menos sozinho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Seja qual for a sua hist\u00f3ria, voc\u00ea faz parte da hist\u00f3ria da Affirmation \u2014 e faz parte do seu futuro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Continuando a jornada juntos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      A hist\u00f3ria da Affirmation sempre foi uma hist\u00f3ria sobre pessoas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pessoas dispostas a criar comunidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pessoas dispostas a apoiar-se mutuamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pessoas dispostas a acreditar que pertencer \u00e9 poss\u00edvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ao celebrarmos 49 anos de servi\u00e7o e olharmos para o futuro, somos gratos a todos que continuam a contribuir com seu tempo, talento, compaix\u00e3o e esperan\u00e7a para este trabalho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Obrigado por fazer parte desta jornada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Juntos, continuamos a criar comunidades de seguran\u00e7a, amor e esperan\u00e7a para pessoas LGBTQIA+, suas fam\u00edlias, amigos e aliados em todo o mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      E, ao nos prepararmos para entrar em nosso 50\u00ba ano, levamos adiante a mensagem que inspirou tantos em nossa comunidade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Estamos unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Unimos nossas vozes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Constru\u00edmos um senso de pertencimento juntos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      E juntos, continuamos a jornada com esperan\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Est\u00e1 tudo bem. Est\u00e1 tudo bem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
