Hey youth.
I posted this over at the PFLAG Tri-Cities blog. We had 50 people including high school students at our first meeting last night!
The Day of Silence is April 25th.
The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. Hundreds of thousands of students will come together on April 25 to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior.
You can read the latest updates on the Day of Silence Blog.
A couple of high school students attended our PFLAG Tri-Cities meeting last night and shared a bit about the harassment lgbtq students experience. The Day of Silence is a good day for straight allies to speak out by not saying a thing.
Find ways to get involved by going to the Day of Silence website.
