Memory Lane Monday

 

 
I love her dress and how tiny her waist looked! She just looks so elegant - like a movie star! And look at that car in the background.

Kinda cool, huh?

LGBTQ Spirit Day: Wear Purple and Say No to Hate

Today, October 20th has been designated as LGBTQ Spirit Day in remembrance of the six young boys who committed suicide in recent weeks because of gay bullying. There are several Facebook groups related to the event including Wear Purple Day and R.I.P.: In memory of the recent suicides due to gay abuse, wear purple, but even if you don't wear purple or join any FB groups, please watch this video:

 

This. Must. Stop.

From the Human Rights Campaign:

In just the last few weeks since school started again, too many teenagers have taken their own lives following bullying and harassment because of their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. How many more young lives will be lost before schools act? Ask Secretary of Education Arne Duncan: Include gender identity and sexual orientation in anti-bullying programs. Sign the petition now.

Also consider becoming involved with The Trevor Project, the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.
