The Day of Silence is when you're vocally silent (no talking, singing, etc.) for a whole day to represent the silence that many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people must hold about their sexuality. It is tomorrow, or Wednesday, April 18. Sorry that some of you overseas folk may already be in Wednesday; that is fine. You (obviously) may still participate, if you like.
This is the official site: link
I hope you're able to participate!
P.S. I'm kinda in a hurry, so I'm not sure if this is international, or just national. I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Once again, don't let that prevent you from silienco!!! ;D;D;D;D
Sorry, no way. I'd rather sign a petition asking for governments to approve harder laws against prejudice, to make gay weddings legal... But no shutting the fuck up.

Sounds rather counterintuitive now that I think about it, doesn't it?

Oops, I talked.
Unless someone rips out my voice box, I'm not going to desist from singing in choir and life. I already have my own "sexualityness-related issues" and I don't need to depress myself on purpose about life.
: /
XD Yeah, our stupid school board decided that we have choir every other day. -_-'
But, I went through with it. I decided I could at least TRY to raise some awareness. By then end of the day, there were about 7 others who decided to join me. Of course, how many who were doing it for attention, who knows. There were alot of people who were still writing notes and stuff. And I know I shouldn't really be online, but I accomplished my goal. Even the people who weren't participating were aware of what was going on.
It was(is) nice to hear people expressing their opinions, whether it be online or at school; whether I agree with them or not. :)

I LOVE choir ! D:
MORE THAN ANYTHING. Except maybe cake.
I have to say... though... you remind me of a good point.
There are a lot of kids in my school who were all "Woo ! GAY RIGHTS !!" for a while (amongst other things). Not that doing that is wrong - but they did it, for the most part, to "stand out". They make the people who actually give a shit look bad.

Ugh, I know. It's those kids who yell out things like "I'M SPECIAL" and "OHMYFUCKINGGAWD, I WENT CROWD SURFING YESTERDAY. CROWDSURFING!" who make the good folks look bad.
They should stick to freaking crowd- surfing.

Oh, I know!! Posers tick me off! I know, that's great if you like ONE Muse song. But don't be all, "I'm HARDCORE Muse!!!!" It's SO pointless. Or the people who take your ideas and use them for their own. :\
