"Within the last few weeks six young men that we know of, and quite possibly many other lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth, took, or tried to take their lives, because of homophobic abuse in their home and schools. Suicide among gay youth is three times that of their straight counterparts. The AFA is a family building organization, and we stand for family in all of its diverse forms. Children, whatever their sexual orientation, deserve to grow up free from bullying and hate." - Ken Mosesian

October 20th, 2010 is Spirit Day. On this day, many people worldwide will come together and wear purple in honor of the LGBT youth who have committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and schools.
PURPLE represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality.
We want to thank Brittany McMillan for creating this event!

Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and schools.
RIP
Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Asher Brown, Cody J. Barker, Harrison Chase Brown, Caleb Nolt, Billy Lucas, Jeanine Blanchette, and Chantal Dube.
