On October 20th, 2010, please wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys ANY LGBTQ people who have committed suicide due to homophobic abuse in their home/work/school/social networking/anywhere. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

RIP Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh (top)
RIP Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase (middle)
RIP Asher Brown and Billy Lucas. (bottom)

and RIP anyone who has taken this step.

REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.

Justin Aaberg attended the school district I live in...I had no idea until a few days ago.

That's a good and important amendment.
