Day of Silence

No matter how far we think we've come in our society, GLBT students are still bullied and harassed in schools. It happened to me as a kid, and it still happens today. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) is asking bloggers to keep a Day of Silence today to draw attention to this issue. Compared to some GLBT kids, I had it easy in high school, but it still got so bad that I would get physically sick before school and would make excuses to stay home. However, the root problem--homophobia--wasn't actually addressed because I attended a Christian school.

So, no more posts today. Make yourself aware and help where you can. Thanks.
