SHUT UP Options

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

Erhm, I posted this on Clique and yeah I wanted to put it here for more to see =/


Right okay, So whats everyone doing April 13th 2005. I hope nothing, this is the day you need to be quiet.

Why do you ask?

'The Day of Silence institutes a visible silence, a silence during which participants protest anti-LGBT* discrimination and abuse. Such an effort also allows us to reflect upon how powerful silencing can be, to focus on how we can make our own voices stronger and to begin to stop silencing ourselves.'

Now, some of you may have seen my topic on cB about the study done on abuse of Gays and Lesbains in school and can see that I do support Gay Rights. I'm just saying this is a great 'slient' protest and I would be happy if you took part.

I myself am going to show what I'm doing by wearing a shirt I will make that says

Front:
"SHUT UP"

Back:
"Protest anti-LGBT discrimination and abuse."
"Day of Silence 2004"

Thank you for reading and I hope you take part

sorry i didnt keep up with this topic, but i do have something to add to it.

there are other ways to communicate with your teachers than talking. and you dont HAVE to talk to them, as long as they dont ask you questions. if you let them know before hand (usually you make out a little card, informing them of what you're doing and why, and you show all your teachers), i think they would keep that in mind and not ask you any questions or put you in a position where you would have to talk. the most my teachers did was ask me yes or no questions and i just nodded or shook my head. i dont understand how not talking pisses teachers and parents off. you dont have to make a big show of it, and as long as you dont, your teachers wont bother you. more so if you only take the vow for like an hour or so.
