I had read that someone is starting a sort of event on October 20th to remember those who have committed suicide after being bullied for their sexuality.
On the PFLAG, the last color, purple, represents spirit. On October 20th we ask everyone to wear a purple shirt (or any garment of clothing) in spirit of those who couldn’t live the kind of life they deserved.
