National Day of Silence Against LGBT Bullying

by Krista Ciminera

Today is National Day of Silence, organized by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), to draw attention to anti-LGBT bullying and harassment.  In its 14th year, the Day of Silence has become the largest student-led action towards creating safer schools for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.  Check out one of their public service announcements below:

Constance McMillen is just one example of discrimination and bullying that is happening to LGBT teens out there today.  Take a moment of silence today to reflect on all the young ones struggling to just being themselves!
