About this Event
Millions wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying.
Spirit Day was started in 2010 by high school student Brittany McMillan as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives due to bullying. Observed annually, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.
Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" as we work to create a world in which LGBT teens are celebrated and accepted for who they are.
Stop by LGBT Student Services at Malone 403 to pick up a free LMU Spirit Day shirt!
