Happy Day of Silence!

For those of you who are celebrating Day of Silence today. Post here letting us know how its going/ what you plan to do tonight to break the silence.

Here is mine:

Personally, I am at school sitting on the computer during lunch. I have accidently talked four times today already. I have a handmade rainbow shirt on and rainbow shoelaces. i also am carrying some Human Rights Campaign balloons with me from class to class. I currently have no plans on how I will break the silence. So far no one has harassed me today which is wonderful.

So yeah, here are some questions to help you respond to this. You don’t have to answer them, but I am personally curious.

1. Has anyone harassed you or tried to trick you into talking?

2. Are you wearing any Day of Silence related gear or gay/bi/trans pride clothing?

3. Did you accidently talk? If so how many times?

4. How do you plan to “break the silence”?

If you have no idea what I am talking about go here:

Happy Day of Silence everyone!
