Yes, I had to announce this to everyone. Today is the National Day Of Silence. Basically, people around the United States keep silent today to express how many gays/lesbians/bis/transexuals all over the United States feel from hiding their sexuality.
I hope each of you are kind and openminded enough to participate in this. Random Fact: About 4 out of 5 gays/lesbians/bis get harassed everyday. Thank you. --Jordan |

I remember a topic about this long ago. I said I wanted to do it but I didn't want to make teachers at school mad at me. Now my points are almost the complete opposite. If I had knew earlier, I would've done it today. bleh. I guess i'll have to do it next year.

Aw. I wished I knew earlier. There are so many narrow-minded people in my school. I "dislike" how they treat some of the people in my school. This would have been a good thing to participate in

Sigh. People just don't get it. It's doesn't matter what your sexuality is. It's the inside that counts.

I would've been quiet if I had known. =/
Natalie told me about this once. Anyway, I'll be quiet for the rest of the day, if that helps at all. |

I could never spend a whole day silent. I am the most talkative person I know. I think I would die. And today I have to rehears my songs so I have to make noise...that sucks. And thats sad that that many people are harrassed..I mean, I harrass my gay friends, but its all outta fun , they harrass me about being straight. now that I think about it, I know 6 different homsexual people, and they never seem to have any trouble with it...but everyone I know if really openminded. so yeah. I love gay people. Expecially really flamboyant guys...they are such fun to shop with!!
