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)
REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.
I'm actually going to have to buy something purple for this, but you know, purple is a nice color. Maybe I'll find something in velvet at the thrift shop, and I can draw on a skinny little 'stache and pretend to be Prince.
I should also mention Dan Savage and his partner's new Youtube channel developed in response to the huge number of young people who can't imagine that things will ever be any better. I am curious to see the content unfold.
