The hosts of CBS' daytime talk show The Talk also sported purple on air for the day. Chelsea Clinton also appeared on the show and spoke about the importance of standing up to bullying. Check it out:
The cast of the upcoming CBS legal drama Doubt, including Laverne Cox, also filmed a short video to share their support for LGBTQ youth.
Each year, millions of people "go purple" for Spirit Day in a united stand against bullying and to show support for LGBTQ youth. According to a 2015 GLSEN survey, more than half of LGBTQ students report being victimized based on sexual orientation, with a further three quarters of students who report hearing anti-LGBTQ remarks in school. Started in 2010 by high school student Brittany McMillan, Spirit Day now draws the participation of celebrities, corporations, media outlets, sports leagues, schools, faith institutions, national landmarks, and individuals around the world, who join together in a united stand against bullying.
