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, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Billy Lucas and Cody J. Barker (picture not shown). You are all loved.
REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.

Oddly enough I had justy bought a purple winter coat so I am still wearing it. I am saddened to see that these youngsters died because of intolerance, I am so glad we in the U.K. have got better and now allow civil partnerships by same sex couples and people are more accepting and that who people bed is their affair. Long may it continue to improve across the world.
I myself am not gay but have friends in the community and am so happy that things are easier now for them.
