Spirit Day began in 2010 as a way to show support for LGBTQ youth and take a stand against bullying. Following a string of high-profile suicide deaths of gay teens in 2010, GLAAD worked to involve millions of teachers, workplaces, celebrities, media outlets and students in going purple on social media or wearing purple, a color that symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.

No one should ever be bullied for any reason. LGBTQ youth are a group that have it rough for just being their authentic selves. I want all those who are in the community to know they have a friend. Be yourself, always and you shouldn’t be afraid to do so.

I totally agree with everything you said Tony. Be yourself and don’t listen to what anyone else negatively has to say. We all have the right to be who we want to be.
My classmate , who sat next to me when I was a freshman high school, and who was gay, killed himself because he was bullied. It was a life – changing event in my life. Since then, one of my most precious bestfriends was gay, and we protected him.
