The Truth about the Day of Silence
Wish we could pull this off in a corporate environment.

Every year, more and more students participate in the Day of Silence, which began 12 years ago when University of Virginia students wanted to find a way to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment on campus.

As the day’s popularity and exposure have increased, many misperceptions have spread about what the Day of Silence is, why the day exists and what participating in it means. Here are 4 truths that address common misinformation about the Day of Silence.

in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing
attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which
is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. This
year’s DOS is held in memory of Lawrence King, a 15 year-old student
who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender
expression. I believe that ending the silence is the fi rst step toward
building awareness and making a commitment to address these
injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.

Hey I know I have been slack the past week.  I just have not had any time to do anything.  A few quick updates,

• the frogs are still alive.
 
• Still waiting on my Fed tax return
• major projects are slowing down
• the world has not crashed around me at work
Well that’s about it C₈H₁₀N₄O₂  anyone ?

A friend while traveling picked me up an addition to my collection from the men’s room of Royal Oak Pub in Aberford, Yorkshire.  Thanks Karen !  and hubby, who was a good sport and actually did the work.  Thanks
