GLAAD Spirit Day #spiritday

Why should we wear purple tomorrow? Well, it is to show that you do not support bullying against the LGBTQ youth community GLAAD worked to involve millions of teachers, workplaces, celebrities, media outlets and students in going purple on social media or wearing purple, a color that symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.

Why support #spiritday and GLAAD: 49% of the LGBTQ students have experienced cyberbullying 56.7% of LGBTQ students did not report experiences of bullying because they doubted an intervention would help 61.6% of LGBTQ students who have reported bullying said school staff didn't do anything about the problem It is time to take a stand and support LGBTQ+ students!

So to show support: Come Tomorrow to the stage during both lunches and take a pledge (if you choose) to receive a purple ribbon to take a stand against bullying and harassment and support LGBTQ+ students. Use #spiritday on social media to show more support, also you can change your social media filter to purple!
