Growing up in the new South Africa, I was lucky enough to not be a victim of apartheid.

Go purple on Facebook and Twitter by turning your profle pictures purple!

Get your purple American Apparel gear! On #SpiritDay, purple, the color that represents 'Spirit' on the rainbow flag, is worn in support of LGBT youth.

The students of Virginia’s Radford University are taking a stand and letting the community know that they don’t like bullying.

GLAAD is helping students, faculty and staff at schools and colleges around the country go purple on Spirit Day!

In an unprecedented show of support, the six most prominent American major sports leagues will all ‘go purple’ with GLAAD for Spirit Day on Friday, October 19, in a stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.

Thank those adults in your life who have promised to go purple to stand against bullying.

Now that you've taken the Spirit Day pledge to go purple in a stand against bullying, you can make a donation to support #SpiritDay! Help GLAAD keep the Spirit alive by donating $10.19 (or whatever you can) today.

Now that you've taken the Spirit Day pledge to go purple in a stand against bullying, talk to your friends and family about somebody who is LGBT or somebody who has experienced bullying.
