Today
millions of people are wearing purple to stand against bullying and
to show their support for LGBT youth. LGBT stands for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender; the Spirit Day organizers know that, no
matter what people's gender, and no matter who they love, people
deserve kind and fair treatment—not bullying! Be on the lookout for
schools, companies, organizations, and public figures pushing purple
today!
Why
purple?
The
rainbow flag has been a symbol of LGBT rights and pride since artist
Gilbert Baker designed the first one in 1978. There are generally six
colors: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green
for nature, blue for art, and violet (or purple) for the human
spirit. That's why, on Spirit Day, people wear purple.
What
can we do?
Some
people wonder what people can do to stop bullying – you know, aside
from wearing purple for a day! The Stop Bullying – dot – gov
website has some ideas.
