#SpiritDay Anti-Bullying Resource Kit | October 2012
No one should be bullied or called names simply for being who they are. Still, millions of LGBT young people are made to feel like they don't fit in every day; some even feel unsafe.
Show your support for LGBT teens by wearing purple for Spirit Day on 10/19, and use the Amplify Your Voice resource kits below to help take a stand against bullying in your school.
No matter who you are, you have the power to make a difference.

What is Spirit Day?
Millions wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying. Spirit Day was started in 2010 as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives. Observed annually, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag. Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" on October 17th as we work to create a world in which LGBT teens are celebrated and accepted for who they are. Learn more & go purple at www.glaad.org/spiritday.
