October 20th 2010: Day Of Purple (Wear Purple)

October 19th, 2010

Image via Wikipedia

October 20th 2010 is a big day tomorrow.

On October 20th please wear a purple shirt as a visual memorial to gay teens who choose to end their life after coming out. Homophobia is a large issue for everyone including me. I am homosexual, so this means a lot too me.

Even though I wont personally be wearing purple tomorrow (no purple shirt, wish I could though), I do know alot of people who will be.

In fact the Day Of Purple Facebook group (link is here). Has almost 150,000 people showing that they will wear purple tomorrow.

This all started after Ellen broke the news earlier in the month that teens where committing suicides after having rough coming outs.

Sad video is below:

.

So please wear purple tomorrow!
