Day of Silence
The National Day of Silence (http://www.dayofsilence.org/content/getinformation.html) is this Friday, April 15th.
“Sponsored by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, the National Day of Silence is a day action in which students across the county take some form of a vow of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.”
We encourage all Outlaws members to be silent for at least some portion of the day on Friday. We will have Day of Silence information cards in the lobby on Friday, and we will play this year’s Day of Silence video on televisions throughout the law school.

Minter is the Legal Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), one of the nation’s leading advocacy organizations for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. He was lead counsel for same-sex couples in the landmark California marriage equality case which held… that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry and that laws that discriminate based on sexual orientation are inherently discriminatory and subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny.

“On October 20, 2010 - it has been decided that we will wear purple in honor of those six boys who have committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and schools. Purple represents the LGBTQ flag - and that is what everyone should have with them - spirit.
Rest in Peace - Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Asher Brown, and Billy Lucas along with all of the other victims of homophobic abuse.
Please invite all of you’re friends and family; this homophobic bullying problem needs to be brought to light!!”
