purple.

I don't really care who agrees or disagrees with me but I have to get this off my chest.

This whole "wear purple" day is just stupid. It goes something like "wear purple on October 20th in honor of the recent teen suicides related to bullying a homosexuality, we want to bring awareness to and stop homophobia and bullying". The whole thing is just... What?

Tons of people kill themselves every day. Suddenly a few gay kids kill themselves and it's a giant huge deal? Why don't we show every suicide case that happenes in the USA every day on the national news and wear a specific color every day? Why aren't we wearing red for women who killed themselves, orange for men who killed themselves, yellow for people under the age of 13 that killed themselves, and so on? It's like everyone else in the world who was bullied to death for being overweight, underweight, Muslim, Jewish, blonde, brunette, Asian, Australian, anything- it's like they don't matter at all unless they were gay.

I also didn't know about this until today, so I'm wondering how many people actually DID wear purple yesterday. Hm. It just seems pointless to me.
