“We’re proud to go purple today as we join millions of LGBTQ advocates across the globe in calling for an end to bullying. No one should ever fear for their safety and well being at school, in the workplace, or anywhere for that matter, simply because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ). Yet the reality is that 8 out of 10 LGBTQ students are bullied in school each year. Bullying has serious consequences that can lead to depression, violence, and suicide. We urge everyone to join us in standing up against bullying and end all forms of hate and violence,” said Rea Carey, National LGBTQ Task Force Executive Director.
