The Day of Silence (04:26:06)

Next Wednesday, April 26, is The Day of Silence. This is the day where students across the country keep silent to support the idea that anti-GLBT harassment is unacceptable in schools. The silence is symbolic of the silencing imposed on GLBT individuals by society.
This is a very important event to acknowledge today as the rights of the GLBT community are becoming increasingly jeopardized by society at large. As a member of the GLBT community, I plan to participate in this event. And as a UU, as well, to uphold my belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and to respect the interdependent web that connects us all.
