Wear purple on Wednesday, October 20

If you have a heart, please wear purple on Wednesday, October 20. People worldwide will be doing so on that day 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.
