It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. 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)

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

I don't think I have anything at all that's purple, but I'll be sure to find something by the 20th.

Just as an FYI, the person who made this apparently did not get permission to use the photographs. While I feel that the photographs speak far more eloquently than words, for the sake of the families and the fact that some of the individuals are minors, an alternative icon has been provided for.

I prefer the one with the photographs, but feel I don't have the right to post it, personally. Naturally you should use your own judgement. :)
