IT GETS BETTER

♥

It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

RIP Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh
RIP Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase
RIP Asher Brown and Billy Lucas

REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.

I'm adding purplespam to this post, just because I want to and because things have been so gorgeous over on tumblr today. ♥ And for the record, though there's fighting to do every day, I don't think wearing purple today could ever have been pointless if it makes even one person feel seen, heard, counted, empowered, inspired or aware.
