Spirit Day October 20th

[watchmakersylar]

It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

RIP Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh (top)
RIP Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase (middle)
RIP Asher Brown and Billy Lucas. (bottom)

Thanks for sharing this Honey. It's a very real subject, even if no one wants to talk about it.

People need to open their eyes. It's sad that they don't.

Glad I brought my purple shirt to Cali with me then. Thanks for passing the word along.

It was something that needed to be passed along.

Welcome to CA. I'm in San Diego myself. :)

I'm in Fresno currently. I've never been here before, so it's interesting.

Fresno *ugh* Were you bad?

Wait of course you were. What was I thinking.

I hear "ugh" about Fresno a lot; it's rather worrying. Lol.

I'm here because my Aunt was stationed here and she was wounded in Iraq so I'm taking care of her while she has some surgery.

I'm like, not exactly in Fresno, we're in Clovis.

||She's alright, she's super active so it's actually me who has to adjust a bit. Always wants to go somewhere xD. But she's great, thanks :D ||
