Since 2010, individuals everywhere in the world put on or show purple on Oct 15 to take a stand in opposition to bullying, and present assist for lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth, who're significantly susceptible to bullying.
On Spirit Day, Purple symbolizes ‘spirit’ on the rainbow flag. It’s a option to stand out, rise up and stand collectively.
