wear purple, but do more than that

miintikwa makes some excellent points here about wearing purple on Spirit Day.

I've seen one too many "turn your status pink for breast cancer!"-type feel-good campaigns that don't actually do anything for whatever cause they represent.

The point is good, though I've got no obvious method to make a difference, at least not to the demographic currently being highlighted as "in danger". I live my life in a way that supports people of nearly any sexual bent (child molesters should be put to death in my perfect world). I supported my daughter's high school GLAAD chapter, in Southern Mississippi, when I was still active duty military.

THLBC would be agast if I were to support his GLAAD organization in his high school. We've talked about what that means to him and he supports people's rights to choose, he just does not want a label associated with him that he does not own. Remembering high school I have sympathy for his concerns.
