Purple Reigns, Purple Reigns
Were you one of the many people across North America who wore purple on Oct. 20th to show your support for the LGBT community? The Spirit Day campaign asked people to wear purple that day to stand up against bullying and harrassment towards gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered youth. A way to let them know it's OK to be gay and that their lives are important.
Several of my work colleagues, family and friends joined the cause on Oct. 20th wearing something purple throughout the day. Seen above are (Clockwise after me) Pam Hopkins, Diane Murray, Laura Degraaf, Katie Lacey, Angela O'Neill-Whiteley, Joan Storie, Timmi, Amanda Bergsma, Shae D. Davidson and Megan Fox.
Spirit Day may be over, but the cause is not. Keep the message going loud and proud. Stand up against homophobia and hate crimes towards the LGBT community and other minorities. No one should take their life because they are made to feel that their orientation is somehow evil or wrong. Gay or straight, no one deserves hate.
Thanks for making a difference on Oct 20th and every day.
