I don't think I've ever repeated the same blog post two days in a row. But today, I'm going to break that tradition and repeat the following item that I posted yesterday. It's that important.
Hopefully some of you are still thinking about what to wear today.
It's Spirit Day. Please wear purple.
--------------------------------------
If you have a heart, please wear purple [today], Wednesday, October 20. People worldwide will be doing so ... to bring awareness to, and put an end to, bullying, hatred, and intolerance.
This simple grassroots action is in solemn recognition of the recent suicides of teenagers who had been bullied for being gay -- or perceived as gay.
Purple represents spirit on the LGBT rainbow flag. On Wednesday, please show your spirit against homophobia, bigotry, and intolerance.
By participating, you will show distraught young people that there are so many others on their side. By participating, you will give them hope. And, by participating, you will give them something to live for.
