well, day of silence is tomorrow and for those of you that don't know what that is, it's a day that people take a vow of not speaking to help show the voices that are silenced everyday because of who they are (race, religion, but mainly sexual orientation). it's organized by the GLSEN (gay, lesbian, straight education network) and is a nation-wide event. at DHS i think we got about 100 or so people signed up to take part in this and the participants can choose weather they want to be silent for the whole day or just during school. i'm pretty sure we're all eating lunch on the quad in a big silent group to give the big effect. i'll just be silent for school just cause it's very hard for me not to talk..but we'll see, i might change my mind. anyways, i'll be probably posting pictures of what the day was like!!
