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.

I was thinking the same, but just remembered I have a purple shirt (one of the few I own with buttons, to boot. :o ) at the back of the wardrobe. :D

The wearing purple isn't really important anyway - it's just a symbolic gesture. If you could get involved in what I linked in the post after this instead then that would be much more productive. :D

I just bought a purple shirt today.

I'll be wearing it on the 20th, no question.
