Greetings Pride Community! 👋
On April 10th we invite you to wear pink in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQ+ Community to take action against homophobia, transphobia, discrimination and bullying. The Day of Pink was started in 2007, by two high school students in Nova Scotia who witnessed another student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. The bullies harassed the boy and threatened to beat him up. The two students, Travis Price and David Shepherd then purchased 50 pink shirts and encouraged peers to arrive at school wearing pink. This act of solidarity spearheaded a change to make their school a safe space for all identities.
Tomorrow, people around the world will wear pink shirts to show their support to the 2SLGBTQ+ Community while we continue to fight for acceptance, equality and inclusion to curate a more diverse world. This story further reminds us to amplify our voices by creating awareness and a call to action to drive change.
Will you be wearing a pink shirt tomorrow?
Feel free to post, comment and join the conversation below!
Yours in Community,
RogersJo
