yesterday (4-18-06), many students around the nation observed a day of silence to protest the discrimination gay, lesvian, bi-sexual, and transgender people face. we were silent to shaow that many gays are afraid to speak out because of the discrimination they might face........the students at my school carrie cards that read:
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 the allies. my deliberate silence echos that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. i belive that that ending this silencei s the first step toward fighting these injustices.. think about all the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?
i was just wondering if anyone else out there participated....and i would appritiate any comments you woud like to make in the subject.

yeah, the people participating in my school this year had those cards too.
i was wondering, in my school, we wore all black with a white ribbon, it symbolized something (to do with silence), but i forgot exactly what. and i was wondering if any other schools or gsa'a did this as well.
I didn't see any one wearing all black with a white ribbon, but that's not to say there wasn't....most of the people that participated at my school were "gothic" and wear all black most of the time, so i didn't really notice.
