It's Post Time
Papa told me that tomorrow, April 15th, is a day to be silent to support young children who are bullied. Tommorrow is the National Day of Silence. Each year, this national event event brings attention to the suffering in silence that GLBTQ youth have to endure each and every day. GLBTQ youth are most commonly the targets of systematic mental and physical bullying and abuse from peers and our communities at large. The bullying has to stop. The hatred and fear being spread by those without empathy or acceptance has to stop.
I promise to be silent all day tomorrow to support this day and the children who suffer at the hands of bullies. I have seen bullies when I was racing. I understand what it's like. I will be silent for you tomorrow.
Can I count on you to be silent tomorrow as well? What can we all do to end the silence?
