Spirit-La

Got up and saw it was Spirit Day. I hate it when I forget ALL about things I'd want to contribute to. So, it's not much, but I whipped this up just now. I HAD to do something after all.

For those of you who don't know, in early October 2010, Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan promulgated the observance of a new commemoration called Spirit Day. The first observance of which took place on October 20, 2010, in which people wear the color purple to show support for LGBT young people who are victims of bullying. The name, Spirit Day, comes from the purple stripe of the Rainbow Flag, defined by Gilbert Baker, creator of that flag, as 'representing "spirit"'. The observance was inaugurated in response to a rash of widely-publicized bullying-related suicides of gay students in 2010.

Be strong. Be proud. Be you.
