Facebook has informed me that today is an especially important day to wear the colour purple. What will wearing a particular colour do?
Well today it is drawing awareness and sending the message that the wearer supports the end of homophobia and related violence, bullying, and hatred.
I support any campaign which promotes equality between any living thing. I believe we are all interconnected. Hatred and intolerance toward anything/ anyone just fuels that negative energy which justifies war and the overall distruction of the planet!
So I wear purple today to signify that I am not ok with homophobia/intolerance/hatred.
Will wearing this particular colour actually help in the long run? Yes, I do.
Even if others do not understand the significance of my colour choice, I will, and thus am more likely to speak out against homophobia and any physical/verbal/emotional abuse.
It's time to break the silence because not saying anything and letting homophobic comments and actions happen without negative recourse is condoning them.
My purple shirt is a promise that I will not condone such actions with silence, I will speak up.
