Day of Silence
Today is the Day of Silence.
Students and educators around the world have silenced themselves today as a statement to represent all orientation types. The silence was spread with flyers stating the cause:
"Day of Silence
Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I
am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth
movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My
deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by
harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe
that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting
these injustices. Think about the voices you are not
hearing today.
What are you going to do to end the silence?"
Well? What are you going to do to end the silence?
