Its been decided that on October, 20th 2010, we will wear purple in memorial of the LGBT youth who have committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and schools. Purple represents Spirit on the pride flag and thats exactly what we'd like to show.
To those of you experiencing homophobic or transphobic bullying, discrimination, harassment or violence, please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who love you and respect you for who you are, no matter what your sexuality or gender identity. You are not alone, we are here to support you! Please REACH OUT TO US.
