On January 31, at Mass “4th Sunday in Ordinary Time”<\/a>, Father J\u00falio took a few minutes to talk about his award: “And I would also like to thank the GAY BLOG BR who gave me this gift, this 2020 influencer award for the popular vote. It is a site aimed at the gay public that sent me this gift. I will fight against homophobia, against transphobia, against all prejudice and against all discrimination. All the people, men and women of the LGBTQIA+ group are our brothers and sisters. They are worthy of respect and consideration. So, with pride and joy I show you what they sent me, this beautiful ‘Influencer of the Year 2020’ trophy for popular vote. I thank you very much and I ask God that we build a society free of all prejudice, of all discrimination. Homophobia never again. Transphobia never again. May everyone be respected and that gender identity is respected, welcomed and protected. Without cruelty, without this structural violence … machismo, misogyny and homophobia, which also destroys, kills and injures “.<\/em><\/p>\n

The priest continued and also cited the recent transphobic attacks on Erika Hilton<\/a>, Carolina Iara<\/a> and Samara Sosthenes<\/a>: “I would also like to send my affection to the councilwoman and the covereadas who have been persecuted here in the Municipality of S\u00e3o Paulo. We are united with you. Resist, have courage. You are in an important place to defend the poor, the weak, the black, the homeless, the periphery, the people who are discriminated against “.<\/em><\/p>\n
