QUOTE DAY OF SILENCE, April 18, 2007: The Day of Silence is an annual event held to bring attention to anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools. Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday. In it's 11th year, the Day of Silence is one of the largest student-led actions in the country I'm not an active member of the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at my school, but I've always thought that this is one movement that deserves my support and finally, after procrastinating for a couple of years, I've finally decided to do it. It's gonna' be hard not talking (several people have told me that it'd be impossible for me), but 'tis a worthy cause. This is more of a national movement than is something School-y, but admittedly, because it is youth-run, it has its roots at schools. But anyone can participate! So I guess I just...put...it...here. ![]() |

yeea. i did it today. ><;; was quieter than usual, though i did talk a couple of times to explain why.
we dont really have a club for that sort of thing.. =\ our teacher doesnt even know about it so i just answered her question if she called on me rather than trying to stir up a scene. ._. though i wasn't called on at all today, so lucky. I just did it with friends who were with it as well, since there is no club. |
