Wear Purple on October 20

The color of the day tomorrow is purple. Rumproast has a fairly well-informed readers, so I do not have to tell you that just more gays teens have taken their lives because of bullying and harassment from their peers. September was a terrible month for teens in Gays and lesbians community with at least six suicide because of bullying or anti-gay Homosexuals and lesbians bullying and abuse. In a grassroots effort to raise awareness and honor the eight gays teens, who recently took his own life because of homophobic abuse, Wednesday, October 20 was declared Spirit Day.



According to the group's Facebook page, the event was organized by the Canadian teen Brittany McMillan and the color purple chosen because it represents the spirit of LGBTQ flag. And awareness was raised about The Trevor Project, an online source of advice and encouragement, including suicide resources.ut LGBT youth could use a little more overt support! A Facebook page has been created to encourage everyone to WEAR PURPLE, October 20th! If you love to live on the internet, which many of us do these days, and you do not think anyone in the "real world" is going to see if you are wearing purple or not, you can dress up your Twitter and Facebook in purple too.

Wearing purple may seem like a small gesture, but Tammy Aaberg, whose son Justin killed himself after being bullied at school for being gay, says it will go far to help gays and lesbians, teens realize they are not alone and they are loved. people across the country will be wearing purple on this day. D. October 20, 2010, we will have purple in honor of the 6 gays boys who committed suicide in the past few weeks / months because of homophobic abuse in their homes and their schools. Remember these lives, we have tragically lost, and show your solidarity with those still struggling. "Go Purple" today!
