Please Wear Purple Thursday, October 21st
In 2010, GLAAD began work with North Surrey Secondary high school student Brittany McMillan. In memory of young LGBT people who lost their lives to suicide, Brittany encouraged her friends to wear purple on a day in October -- a day that came to be known as Spirit Day. Since then, GLAAD has helped turn Spirit Day into a global event that inspires millions of individuals, celebrities, TV personalities, media outlets, companies and schools to wear purple in a stand against bullying.  Please wear purple on Thursday, October 21st to show your support!
