Tie a purple ribbon round me-ee-ee…


I'm going to share this Facebook group with my class this week and wear purple on Wednesday.

 
"It's been decided. On October 20th, we will wear purple in honor of gay and lesbian people who have been victim to getting abused for their sexual orientation.

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.


Join this group and invite everyone on your friends list. Don't let their deaths be for nothing. Let it mean something, and let's do something to change this country for once.

Gays or lesbians shouldn't suffer for who they love. "

 
You can join the Facebook group and wear purple on Wednesday. A simple remembrance for Matthew Shepard, Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase and Billy Lucas.
