Day Of Silence! This Friday!
Will stop talking. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) will hold its 12th annual National Day of Silence, an event which aspires to raise awareness of anti-LGBTQ activity in schools and bring an end to it. Participants are encouraged to remain silent during the day to symbolize the silence forced onto LGBTQ youth by the imminent possibility of bullying and harassment. This is not meant to diminish the efforts of LGBTQ-identified people who observe the Day of Silence.
