dimity_blueThe It Gets Better Project is asking people to wear purple tomorrow (Thursday) to show support for the LGBT community.
~~~
In honor of “Spirit Day” we're encouraging our hundreds of thousands of supporters online—like you—to join the millions wearing purple in support of LGBT youth.
Stand with LGBT youth by wearing purple for Spirit Day on Thursday, October 20, 2011 then spread the word by emailing your friends, tweeting about #SpiritDay and posting to facebook.
What is Spirit Day? (via GLAAD)
Millions of Americans wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying. Spirit Day was started in 2010 by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives. Observed annually on October 20, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag. Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" on October 20.
