Because today is Spirit Day: "In early October 2010, Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan promulgated the observance of a new commemoration called Spirit Day, the first observance of which took place on October 20, 2010, in which people wear the color purple to show support for LGBT young people who are victims of bullying."
As last year, we will "wear" purple for the rest of the day. We will remain committed to championing LGBTQI equality, and challenging straight and cis privilege, always.
