I did not utter a single word today!
Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I participated in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoed that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. What are you going to do to stop the silence?
That was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
