Tomorrow, Wednesday October 20th has been designated as "Spirit Day" to acknowledge the recent rash of LGBTQ youth who have committed suicide and to reaffirm to those youth who feel alone and isolated that they are not and to paraphrase an often used phrase now, it gets better.Why purple? According to the GLAAD website, purple symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag. Although there is no meeting place or rally planned - this is a national event that you can help to raise the visibility of if you are a blogger by promoting and everyone can contribute to by wearing something purple.
GLAAD has more information about Spirit Day, check it out here.
Will you help make a statement on October 20th?
