Hey, Yaoi Fans!
Tomorrow, is Spirit Day! Here's a bit about it that I took from a website! I know we're all supporters here so WEAR PURPLE 20/10/10!!! :)
Love Kat xox <3.
"From The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD):
WHAT IS SPIRIT DAY?
The idea behind Spirit Day, first created by teenager Brittany McMillan earlier this month, is a simple one, not dissimilar to the idea of "Spirit Week" held in many high schools, and can be summed up in three words: Everyone Rally Together.
Spirit Day honors the teenagers who had taken their own lives in recent weeks. But just as importantly, it's also a way to show the hundreds of thousands of LGBT youth who face the same pressures and bullying, that there is a vast community of people who support them.
Purple symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag, a symbol for LGBT Pride that was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978.
As one of the event's Facebook pages says: "This event is not a seminar nor is it a rally. There is NO meeting place. All you have to do is wear purple."
Wearing purple on October 20 is a simple way to show the world that you stand by these courageous young people and a simple way to stand UP to the bullies. Remember those lives we've tragically lost, and show your solidarity with those who are still fighting. 'Go Purple' today!"
Spirit Day!

Re: Spirit Day!
That sounds like a really great idea! :D Gays and Lesbians are equal human beings to straight people, so every supporter like you said should wear purple shirts and stuff! :D(unfortunately, I don't have purple clothes or a purple shirt so! =P Sorry but again I still do support!)
I think we all agree that every one in this site supports gays/lesbians eaven if they don't wear purple.
8D! That's true! ^^.
