We are silent!

On April 16^th students all over the world participated in the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), to draw attention to anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. This year marks their 14^th annual day of silence.

I think my favourite part of this day is that it is meant to educate the public by their community’s youth. When the generation that will soon be running thus world understands rights for all then I would not mind living in that future at all.

This article is such a huge contrast from Constance’s situation where the student body were the one picking a fight with her, but by introducing a day of silence (meant to be significant as LGBT do not have a “voice” in their communities) we can make a brighter path for generations to come opposed to Constance’s high school and the example the parents and students of her high school were making.

I hope to discover more positive impacts to a big step forward in rights and freedoms for all of the World. This one day defiantly makes a huge impact.
