The LOFT Supports #SpiritDay
Today is #spiritday and The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Centers stands firm against bullying. We need our schools and workplace environments to be spaces where LGBTQ+ folx can learn, grow and thrive and not worry about being bombarded by harassment and abuse.
Come and join us in supporting Spirit Day!
According to GLAAD:
LGBTQ youth disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Each year, millions go purple for Spirit Day to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying. Pledging to “go purple" on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — global and local brands and companies, world leaders, celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with youth and to take part in the largest, most visible LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign in the world.
