Happy Spirit Day from HRC!
October 19, 2012 by Eric Cameron, Digital Media Associate
Today is Spirit Day, and HRC is marking the occasion by going purple across our site and various social platforms.
Three years ago, Spirit Day started as a day when supporters wear purple to show their support for LGBT youth and the rejection of anti-LGBT bullying.
Today there are many ways you can get involved and show your support. You can use HRC’s Spirit Day Facebook app, so all your friends and family know about the power of purple. And this year, HRC is partnering with GLAAD on a resource kit with tips on everything from how to turn your Facebook picture purple for the day, to engaging local officials, lawmakers and the media in meaningful conversations on bullying.
Check back for more coverage later today, and be sure to check out our Facebook app and the #SpiritDay resource kit!
