Description

What is Day of Silence?

The Day of Silence is a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBT students and those perceived to be LGBT.

Go to the Day Of Silence Website to learn more about it and how to help.

I'm not hating your art, nor gay people but....
Day of silence sounds silly and a waste of time.
Why do we have to be quiet for a day to respect gay people? And not the other people who have been bullied for other things?

The other thing that sounds indecent and ill mannered is the fact we only have to be quiet for TWO minutes TWO minutes for the millions of people who died in world war one and two.
But just to be aware of bullying ONLY against the gays, lesbians and bi's we have to be quiet for a day and wear purple?

How does being silent help the 'gay right cause' anyway? Silence does not stop jerks being jerks, we should encourage people how to react and cope with bullying, this goes to people who are being bullied for other reasons too.

Sorry just stating my opinion, freedom of speech.
