Do not forget that April 25th is the day of silence, if your not sure what it is, google it because I'm bad at explaining it, I guess the best I could say is that it is a day that trys to stop the ignorance about Gender and sexual oreintation stuff, its a good day, so if you can talk to your teachers at school to see if you can organize anything to help. Being Forgotten is worse then death

I'm not planning on saying a single word that day. My only problem is that I don't really have a way of getting the cards to hand out, I think I'm gonna have my friend buy them for me.

On February 12, 2008, gay 8th grader Lawrence King was shot and killed in class by classmate Brandon because two days privious Brandon was asked by Larry to be his valinine. The day of silence is in respect for Lawrence and to promote peace in schools. Ellen Degeneres said on the subject "Larry was not a second class citizen; I am not a second class citizen. It is okay if you're gay!" She said that on February 29, 2008. Is that enough info? Smokey Phoenix ~GAY PRIDE~

I love the day of silence! my school is doing it on the 30th because we don't have school the 25th. WARNING, I got an email from GLSEN (gay, lesbian, and straight education network) about the rights of students on the day of silence: 1. You DO have a right to participate in Day of Silence and other expressions of your opinion at a public school during non-instructional time.
2. You do NOT have a right to remain silent during class time if a teacher asks you to speak.
3. Your school is NOT required to "sponsor" Day of Silence.
4. Students who oppose Day of Silence DO have the right to express their views, too. "Be who you are and say what you feel-those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind."

I honestly do not see the point of "Day of Silence". From the way I see it, it's just a way for the homophobes to win. Most of them are probably thinking, "Good, at least they stopped talking for one day".
