Day of Silence

It is a day to show your support of gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people. Basically, the point is to be silent to represent the silence that these people face, whether it be from bullying, harrassment, name-calling or something of the sort.
I personally don't get it. How can you call something to someone's attention, or support it, by being silent?
Anyways, yes my drama partner did participate. But then he gave up. Which doesn't make sense, considering he is one of the people being supported.

The website, if you want to check it out (I recommend not, as it wasn't very helpful, unless you actually register or have the time or brain capacity to search the site) is dayofsilence.org

In Him,
