In 2010 high schooler Brittany McMillan rallied fellow students to wear purple, the “spirit” color on the pride flag. From that simple request, Spirit Day has grown into the world’s largest LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign. The unified support is still very much needed: LGBTQ students remain overwhelmingly bullied with 70% reporting being verbally harassed and nearly 60% feeling unsafe at school.
Today employees from HBO and WarnerMedia donned purple and took over Vessel to stage a photo to further the cause. Such a show of solidarity is an annual event for the WarnerMedia family, as they join many other corporations and media outlets, plus sports leagues, schools, faith institutions, in the GLAAD-promoted commemoration.
GLAAD is the world's largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization. To get involved or learn more visit GLAAD.org/SpiritDay
