People and social media are going purple for Spirit Day: Are you talking with your kids about Spirit Day?
Today is Spirit Day, a day when people are encouraged to wear purple to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.
Happy #SpiritDay from the @hrc staff -- go #purple and take a stand against bullying! twitter.com/HRC/status/259…
— HumanRightsCampaign (@HRC) October 19, 2012
But it's not just people wearing purple.
Technology such as Facebook, Tumblr, Yahoo, StumbleUpon, and Hulu are all going purple, too.
And purple-clad folks are flooding Twitter, posting photos of themselves using the hashtag #SpiritDay.
Are you talking with your children about the meaning of Spirit Day?
