...we remember:
RIP Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Billy Lucas and Cody J. Barker (picture not shown). You are all loved.
Spirit Day was started by Brittany McMillan and on the 20th we will wear purple in honor of the 7 gay boys who committed suicide recently due to homophobic abuse in their homes or at their schools.
Purple represents Spirit on the GLBTQ flag and that’s exactly what the sponsors of Spirit Day would like all of you to have with you: spirit and something purple to wear on that day in celebration of the spirits and lost lives of these seven young men. Tell your blog readers, friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools about Spirit Day and why it’s so important.
For those teens and young people just starting to realize their potential that face daily abuse for who they are or who they are assumed to be, stay strong. Things will get better. Once you are free to make your own decisions and create your own destiny, your possibilities are endless. Your world right now might look cruel and ruthless but if you remain resilient you will see what an amazing place it can be once you are free to make your own decisions. You are an amazing person and those of us who have gone through the same things and survived love you and are thinking about you!!!
