Parents and teachers need to emphasize to their kids that homophobia is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. >I think Day of Silence has done a good job of bringing awareness to the plight of LGBT students, but real change begins with peer-to-peer relations, parents, and teachers.

Lean on me! I am my brother/sister's keeper, and when I am they are mine, and we are just the human family. Plain and simple. I'm sick of the pain, the hurt, and the humiliation that some one has to face because of who they are. It's not fair, it's not right, and it's time it stops, and that starts right now with me and my stand in the Day of Silence. >As a person who identifies as straight, it means letting my glbt brothers and sisters know that I stand with them, and support them and have their backs when the hatred has them up against the wall!
