About Spirit Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year, millions go purple for GLAAD\u2019s Spirit Day to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying. Started in 2010 by high school student Brittany McMillan in response to numerous young LGBTQ lives lost to suicide, Spirit Day now draws the participation of celebrities, schools, faith institutions, national landmarks, corporations, media outlets, sports leagues, and advocates around the world, all joining together to stand against bullying and support LGBTQ youth.<\/p>\n

Presenting partners Pantene and Target, official partners Kellogg\u2019s and the NBA and WNBA, and community partners Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, Kirkland & Ellis, and Wells Fargo will all participate in the anti-bullying campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As anti-LGBTQ policies, hate crimes, and harassment are on the rise, it is now especially important to let all marginalized youth know they are supported.<\/p>\n

This year, Spirit Day is on October 17, 2019. Take the Spirit Day pledge to show LGBTQ youth you’ve got their backs at\u00a0glaad.org\/spiritday. Follow @GLAAD on\u00a0Twitter,\u00a0Facebook, and\u00a0Instagram\u00a0to keep up to date with #SpiritDay news.<\/p>\n
