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 at 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.

And on a related note:

Thought I'd pimp this here too. The awesome dr4win9f00l  has decided to take contact details of anyone who wants to lend a supportive ear to LGBTQ people dealing with bullying & confusion. If you're willing to lend a hand, get a y!Gallery account if you don't have one and comment here with your contact details - if he gets enough interest he could make this a proper thing.
