Wear purple on the 20th of October to honor the six boys who recently committed suicide as a result of being tormented by peers for being gay.
This is not about gay rights. This event has nothing to do with politics or what the Bible says. This event is about loving people. We need to make an effort to show love for every single human being, so that the teen suicides end. I only wish we had done this before these young men took their lives.

p.s. For those of you who are having issues with the title. We're trying to stop abuse that is homophobic in nature, not abuse of homophobes. Otherwise the title would be "Stop homophobe abuse."
p.p.s. PLEASE. Do not spread hate on this page, whether that be hate for gays or for anti-gays. This page is about loving other people, so let's please all be good examples of that love in our actions and words. Thank you.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Why just anti-gay abuse? Why not all abuse?
This event is a response to the suicides of the now ten gay teens who took their own lives this September as a result of anti-gay bullying. You wouldn't be opposed to a breast cancer awareness event just because it didn't include other cancers too, would you? Why is this event any different?

2. What if I think homosexuality is wrong?
This isn't about whether or not homosexuality is a sin or whether or not gays should get married. This is about treating your fellow human being with dignity and respect. This is about loving people no matter what.

3. I hate (gays/homophobes).
Kindly keep those opinions to yourselves. This event is for spreading love. Hateful comments about anyone will be deleted.

4. Why are you deleting my comments?
I delete anything I consider hateful as well as any trolling I see. Extreme cases of this will be flagged and reported.
