I had to work today. I don't mind, like I've said so many times before, I need the money. I was so busy with errands and phone calls and sales that I forgot something truly important.
Today was A National Day of Silence.
Perhaps some of you have never heard of it. It is a day about making sure LGBT kids are not bullied in school, and this year it will be dedicated to the memory of Lawrence King, a California pre-teen who was shot and killed by another classmate out of homophobic hate. It is an important day, because we need to protect our children. Kids aren't always aware of what their hatred can do. It is just as deadly as grown up hate. Hate kills. And it hurts everyone.
Growing up is hard enough without having to fear being killed because of who you are.
Lawrence King: January 1993 - February 2008. Killed because he was gay.
