Silence Hate - Day of Silence 2009

It's time to silence the hate!

This Friday, April 17th, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) will orchestrate the 13th annual National Day of Silence.

The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Each year the event has grown, now with hundreds of thousands of students coming together to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior.During this time students from across the nation will pledge to be silent all day in efforts to stop the hate that affects many people in our communities as well as our schools. Get in on the silencing of hate towards the gay community by setting time aside this friday to not say a word to anybody for a length of time.

If for any reason you must speak on Friday, April 17 you can still participate by following Day of Silence on twitter (@dayofsilence). After following Day of Silence on twitter tweet now until Friday the 17th at least once a day about the Day of Silence. And invite your friends to tweet about it too. And tweet them to become a Day of Silence follower.

Awesome! April 17th is the beginning of Gay Pride here in Phoenix. We don't do it in the summer due to the killer heat. So I will look to see what they do here in my city Pride Celebration. Thank you.

Thanks :) Im glad you will be participating as well!

I wasn't aware of this either until about the middle of last week! If your not in some type of GSA organization we tend to miss important things such as this!

Love the video... and the music... visually and hearing-ually (lol?) beautiful. And I will definitely be participating! And I am very happy to have people like you to inform of things like this, because I was not aware of this.

Yeah and not only that, people have been killed horribly too. Noone should have to lose their live over being themselves. The hate does need to stop, for real.
