I am going silent tomorrow. No talking all day. Zip. It's a protest against anti GLBT actions and sentiments in many schools across the nation. Being here at Hope where people are particularly close minded when it comes to sexuality, I feel it's important.
There is a National Day of Silence, which is actually next Wednesday, not sure who at Hope mixed that up. But at least we have it, even if it is the wrong week. This is the blurb on Hope's website for student event updates:
The Sexual Issues Programming Committee, Women's Studies and the CrossRoads Project are co-sponsoring a Day of Silence where students and some faculty members will be taking a day long vow of silence to protest the silencing, harassment and discrimination of LGBT individuals.

Here's a little about the national one - National Day of Silence.

I know that people who read this journal vary in their opinions on homosexuality. Please know that this is my decision to support a cause I believe to be right, so please don't post any discriminatory comments.
