Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new year 10 student was harassed for wearing pink. We've been celebrating Pink Shirt Day in Aotearoa since 2009 and the campaign grows stronger and larger every year.
Some people make fun of people that are gay or some say people that are not normal. The people getting bullied are scared and if they talk about it they might get embarrassed. That is why we have pink shirt day to show that you have a voice and you are free to speak how you want and say what you want to say.
What is your opinion Austin - are people less homophobic? Do you hear negative comments about people? I'd like to know what YOU think.
ReplyDeleteI like the empathy you display here Austin, you are aware of the emotional impact of bullying.
