Wear Purple on October 20^th

During the last two months, across the country, eight gay teenage boys committed suicide, these unfortunate acts of desperation were motivated by intolerance, from other youth, towards their sexual identity. Please join the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and the LGBT Jewish Inclusion Project in taking a stand against bullying and discrimination  of LGBT youth. On October 22, wear a purple ribbon to Shabbat services as a symbol of care and solidarity. Contact Marc Paley, LGBT Jewish Inclusion Project Coordinator, (520) 577-9393x128 orlgbtinfo@jfsa.org.

PURPLE represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. 

Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and schools. S pread The Message. It is important that all this hate be stopped.  Join the nationwide event at:  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144778572233301
