On October 20th, 2011, we will wear purple in honor of those who have lost their life committing suicide mostly due to homophobic abuse in their homes and 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.
Inspired by the original group [was made before 'events' were made], Purple Against Homophobes.

Homophobia-
Phobia= an extreme fear. Homophobia is born from hatred. Hatred is born of FEAR. fear is born of ignorance. Ignorance is born of a lack of education.

Don't own anything purple?
Don't worry! You can just take a purple washable marker or paint and paint your face/hands or arms! Maybe purple socks. Or make a pin with white fabric and a purple marker.
