Day of Silence

Yesterday, April 16, 2010, was the National Day of Silence. Young people across the country participated in this GLSEN sponsored event to raise awareness of the forced silence of the LGBT community by ANTI-LGBT bullying, harassment, name-calling etc. My daughter participated at her high school and endured the ignorance of others. I participated in my own way by NOT posting or communicating on Facebook or Twitter for 24 hours. Our hope is that the silence creates awareness. What will you do to end the silence?
