Day of Silence '08
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
For those of you who don't know what the day of silence is: The Day of Silence is an annual day of action to protest the bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students, and their supporters. Students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of LGBT students and their supporters.

Beginning in 1996, the Day of Silence is held each year on a Friday in April. The next Day of Silence will be Friday, April 25, 2008.

So, I want you all (I could stop there ;)) to join in and get others to do the same.

" yup, that's pretty much it.

my biggest project besides the Day of Silence, is trying to get the three high schools in my area to approve a GLBT/supporter pride parade. anyone's welcome, it's just something special for us and those that support us. "

" I'm participating... fourth year in a row =]

Oh, and Gss91- even if your prom is that day you should do it. I mean, I understand it would suck... but if you could get a decent sized group to not speak for the cause even during PROM... that would really send a message flying. "
