Wear purple on October 20, 2010 to help with the awareness of gay and lesbian bullying among children, teens, and young adults. This is a growing epidemic that has plagued our nation as news of children and teens committing suicide over bullying has become apart of our regular culture.
Wearing purple on October 20, 2010 is a sign that we're not going to stand for the bullying of gay, lesbian, or any children, teens, or young adults anymore. Many celebrities such as Ellen Degeneres, who is openly gay, have created PSO's, or public service announcements about the horrible tragedies that have ended lives as the result of bullying.
So, if you're ready to take a stand against our children, neighbors, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends being bullied for being who they are, wear purple, and let everyone know the reason why.
