Assim como os B´nei Anussim descendentes de judeus portugueses e espanhóis convertidos em 1492 (Espanha) e 1497 (Portugal ) , muitos palestinos (e os ditos "árabes israelenses",sejam cristãos ou muçulmanos) são israelitas convertidos !

" Described as the largest study of its kind ever performed, new Australian research has found that same-sex parents do better statistically in raising children with better physical health and mental wellbeing "
Talvez porque saibam que precisam dar o melhor de si mesmos para provar que podem ser excelentes pais e mães e também por desejarem tanto realizar este sonho, que para os héteros já era garantido pelas leis mas que só recentemente vem sendo conquistado por LGBTs - e em alguns países apenas.
" As a founding partner of Global Sanctuary for Elephants/Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (http://www.globalelephants.org/), ElephantVoices is working closely with GSE-Directors Scott and Kat Blais to get an elephant sanctuary in Brazil off the ground.

After arriving from the US on 25 June, Scott and Kat spent a few days there to discuss experience from animal welfare work in Brazil.

" After Katie Goldman was bullied for her love of Star Wars -- which bullies claimed was "just for boys" -- the Star Wars fangroup The 501st Legion decided to build her a custom Stormtrooper costume. Katie showed that a love of Star Wars is not gender limited as she wore her costume proudly and regained her confidence. Now, two years later, the 11-year-old Mighty Girl is creating a new 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Stormtrooper Costume' by passing her costume on to another young girl bullied for her love of so-called 'boy' interests.
It was Katie’s mom, author Carrie Goldman, who originally wrote about Katie’s experiences and attracted the attention of the 501st Legion. The 501st created a hashtag, #maytheforcebewithKatie, to send messages of support and Katie's story went viral. Two years later, when Katie decided she wanted to be a Stormtrooper for Halloween, Goldman contacted the 501st for advice on where to find a costume. Instead, they fundraised to make Katie a custom-sized Stormtrooper costume built to the exact specifications used in the films. Goldman wrote on her blog: “Katie rocked that armor at her school’s Halloween parade. And again while trick-or-treating. And in spring at the Purim Carnival. And in summer at Star Wars Day in Joliet... the outcome was always stunning.”
They had always planned to pass the armor on to another child once Katie outgrew it and, recently, Brian Troyan of 501st sent a message to Goldman introducing them to Allison: “I wonder if Katie might be ready to pass along her Stormtrooper armor to another little girl who has been bullied and who needs a little love and a reminder that she shouldn't ever need to hide who she is,” he wrote. He was referring to 11-year-old Allison Jorgensen, pictured at right, who was being “taunted, ostracized, and even physically attacked by her peers” for her love of Star Wars and for carrying a Spider-Man lunchbox.
Goldman wasn’t sure if Katie would be ready to pass on the special suit of armor. On her blog, Goldman writes, “I sat on the edge of Katie’s bed Thursday night and told her about Allison... after I answered to the best of my ability, she simply said, 'That is terrible.' 'So,’ I said, ‘Would you be willing to give Allison your Stormtrooper armor?’ ‘Yes! Of course,’ she answered immediately. ‘That’s a great idea!’” Not only did Katie agree to pass the armor along, but she and her friends wrote notes to accompany the costume, encouraging and supporting Allison.
Troyan arranged to have the armor and the notes picked up from Goldman’s house, and delivered to Allison at an Autism Speaks event this month. He said that Allison "couldn’t stop smiling and couldn’t wait to try it on." Her mother, Aimee, added “I think perhaps the letters from the girls meant more to her than the armor itself, and has made her feel like she has ‘yet-to-be-met’ friends out there in the world... something she had forgotten for a while.”
Troyan hopes that, when Allison outgrows the suit, it can be passed on to yet another girl who needs to know that she is not alone. “I think it helps them understand that they don’t need to hide who they are or what they love,” he says. “Even if someone tries to make fun of them for something, that doesn’t mean they should be ashamed of it.”
