"It Gets Better" (Broadway sings for the Trevor Project)

Yesterday, when the Spirit Day is about to end, another young gay man committed suicide, his name is Corey Jackson. This brings a sad news for the whole LGBTQ community because another life has taken away.

In my own little ways, I am supporting the Anti-Gay Bullying through my blog, Twitter and Facebook account. After watching this video by the Broadway cast for the Trevor Project, I know that "It Gets Better" if we are here to support them. Being HOMOSEXUAL is NOT A DISEASE and we don't need a CURE for it. We just need ACCEPTANCE and EQUAL RIGHTS.

This video really uplifts my spirit and the pain will just go away, not now but eventually. So we really need to be a fighter, a fighter for our own rights.

It gets better, better, better

The pain will let up, let up, let up

If you fall just get up, get up, get up

Ohh, cause there's another way

It gets better, better, better

The world gets lighter, lighter, lighter

So be a fighter, fighter, fighter

Ohh, just live to see that day

Yeah, live to see that day (that day)

Live to see that day

I support #SpiritDay!

Though I am not American, still the 6 recent suicides due to gay abuse made me realize that it has to stop. In my own little ways, I am supporting the #SpiritDay and that is today, 10/20/10. 


I am wearing a purple shirt today and together with my purple camera, I took some picture of myself though is kinda blurred because I only use my laptop's webcam. Here's the sample:

WHAT IS SPIRIT DAY?

The idea behind Spirit Day, first created by teenager Brittany McMillan earlier this month, is a simple one, not dissimilar to the idea of "Spirit Week" held in many high schools, and can be summed up in three words: Everyone Rally Together.

Spirit Day honors the teenagers who had taken their own lives in recent weeks. But just as importantly, it's also a way to show the hundreds of thousands of LGBT youth who face the same pressures and bullying, that there is a vast community of people who support them.

Purple symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag, a symbol for LGBT Pride that was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978.

As one of the event's Facebook pages says: "This event is not a seminar nor is it a rally. There is NO meeting place. All you have to do is wear purple." 

Wearing purple on October 20 is a simple way to show the world that you stand by these courageous young people and a simple way to stand UP to the bullies. Remember those lives we've tragically lost, and show your solidarity with those who are still fighting. 'Go Purple' today! 

WEAR PURPLE ON OCTOBER 20 FOR SPIRIT DAY!
