Standing Silent
“Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in (my high school)’s Hands Against Hate’s Day of Solidarity, a movement to bring attention to the silence faced by individuals who have been placed outside of society based on their real or perceived identity, such as, but not limited to: race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, and ability/disability. My deliberate silence echoes the silence of these individuals, which is caused by bullying, name-calling, and harassment. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to adress these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.” That’s what we handed out to people at school today, I thought it said it all. #day of slience #lgbt #rights #gay #lesbian #bisexual #transgender #equal rights
