In response to the tragic suicides of gay teens who were bullied, people around the world took part in Spirit Day hoping to, once and for all, put an end to the harassment. Spearheaded by GLAAD, Spirit Day urged people to wear purple to raise awareness and show support for the young people who took their lives due to LGBT discrimination. A Facebook and Twitter campaign to change profile pictures to a purple tint took over, and plenty of famous faces joined in and urged others to do so. Actress Kate Walsh posted all the info from her page, "End anti-LGBT bullying - wear purple & make your profile pic purple for #SpiritDay 10/20 at http://glaad.org/spiritday #LGBT" while singer Lance Bass (pictured) asked, "Who is rockin' the purple today?! All of Facebook is a nice shade of purple! Very nice! #spiritday 10-20-10."
Many celebs answered that call, including "Glee" star Lea Michele who tweeted, "I AM! We must join together and show our support! #spiritday" and singer Matt Morris who wrote, "I'm wearing #purple today in remembrance of all the young people we've lost in recent days to suicide. You should, too."
