Today is The National Day of Silence.
Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?

Cool. I'm only going to communicate through message boards today. No talking.
Yesterday was Africa Malaria Day. I bought a whole case of Raid.
I'm a sucker for 'days.'

Very cool. Can adults/non-students take part? It would be great for adults to join in solidarity... I think those around me would welcome a day of silence from me.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
