CRIMSON
The Story of Fox and all those connected to him.
Day of Silence
Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence which is caused by ahrrassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.

Anyone that reads this, that might have wanted to/haveactually participated in this, post a comment. You can tell me why you did or just say you did. You don't need to tell me anything. I will post a comment myself, saying why I did.

I participated in the silence as much as humanly possible.

My reason is because I am bisexual. I know many bis and gays and even a transgender. The transgender I know was only allowed to go through with surgery because his older brother commit suicide b/c he wasn't allowed to go through with the same thing. Due to those that feel held back by such predujice.. especially how christian this town is.... I participated.

I participated in this movement because I am bisexual and I wanted to prove a point to those who are ignorant and walk around school with bloody signs that say "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" "Jack and Jill not Jack and Bill"..... I hoped that it would stop the ignorance..... of course it made them even more so.... I spoke only a few times....
