08:30 am - Spirit Day
I'll be wearing purple.
No matter how you feel about a person's orientation (and whether you believe it is nature, nurture or choice), it is not okay for these teenagers to have died. It is wrong for them to have died simply because they were different.
May they be at peace... and may those who are in the same situation have hope.
Originally posted by  neo_prodigy at Spirit Day  It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools. RIP Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh (top) RIP Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase (middle) RIP Asher Brown and Billy Lucas. (bottom) REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.
