VIDEO: Day of Silence (4/18) vs. Day of Truth


The Day of Silence is an annual event held to bring attention to anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools. Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday. In it's 11th year, the Day of Silence is one of the largest student-led actions in the country.

Interestingly, a conservative group has proclaimed a "Day of Truth" on April 19 in which students are encouraged to respond to the homosexual agenda "boldly, but with love." According to Pat Robertson's CBN, "The Day of Truth, sponsored by the Alliance Defense Fund, gives students a platform on which to stand against the promotion of homosexuality."

Blogger, I am a Christian Too writes:

"Heaven help us. The Day of Silence is a protest against harassment and bias against gays. Regardless of the stated intent, the effect of the Day of Truth will be to justify and excuse continued harassment and bias against gays in our schools."
