#SpiritDay 2015 Set for October 15

On October 15, you’ll be seeing purple. Why?

After a string of suicides among gay teens, a high schooler called on fellow students to wear purple for bullying awareness. GLAAD amplified the campaign, asking TV personalities to wear purple on air. Not only did the White House participate, but so did our nation’s spiritual leader: Oprah. Show your support by taking the #spiritday pledge at glaad.org/spiritday; then, on October 15, wear purple and use GLAAD’s purple-tinted social media skins, too. glaad.org
