National Gay Teen Suicide Awareness Day - October 20th

From our great friends at One Orlando...Wednesday, October 20th, has been designated Gay Teen Suicide Awareness Day - there is a national call out to wear purple that day to remember - and educate.  Please join with people all across the nation to wear purple in honor of the recent gay suicides. Many of them suffered from homophobic abuse in their schools or in their homes. We want to take a stand to say that we will not tolerate this. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that's exactly what we'd like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please wear purple on October 20th to remember all the lives of LGBTQ youth that have been lost due to homophobia. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

The LGBT Youth Candlelight Vigil will take place October 20th, at Lake Eola beginning at 7:00pm.  For more information:
