Break out your pink clothes because tomorrow is the Day of Pink, a day against bullying, discrimination and homophobia in schools and communities. The Day of Pink started when a teen in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing pink to school. In response, his friends and peers came to school also wearing pink to show support and take a stand against bullying. Since then, the Day of Pink's become a yearly tradition. People of all ages participate, inundating their schools and workplaces with pink to raise awareness about bullying and to celebrate differences.
The Day of Pink website has some more background on the initiative and it also has suggestions for organizing Day of Pink celebrations and fundraising events.
Many also celebrate Pink Shirt Day, which is based around the same premise. For more information about Pink Shirt Day, check out: http://www.pinkshirtday.ca/%20
