Congrats to the organizers of today's Day of Silence, which brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event is held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 this year by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.My friend and fellow blogger Montreal Simon writes eloquently about the issue today.

Hi Matt... Thanks for the link and for helping to spread the word about the Day of Silence.
It's a beautiful idea because it gets kids thinking about how bullied children feel not being able to speak out...as well as giving gay and straight kids a chance to send out a powerful message of tolerance.
The bad news was the bigots came out from under their rocks.
The good news was the kids were better than them...and the day was a huge success.
It's sad that we have to have a day like that...but it sure lifted my spirits !! :)
