Friday Fun: National Day Of Silence

Friday Fun: 

National Day Of Silence

Bullying is no fun. Not for the one being bullied.

So today is not so much 'fun' as it needs to be honored.

But you know what is fun?

These celebs? Love 'em? Despise 'em? Don't care about 'em?

Whatever. 

While their participation in this campaign could be cynically viewed as just another PR opportunity, their commitment to the cause is real... and enough to earn my respect.

This campaign. 

NOH8

It was quite the fashion statement for awhile. 

I thought it would be fun to revisit these photos.  And, yes... they are iconic.

Let me unpack that word for those of you who feel it is overused. It doesn't mean or imply what you may think.

Iconic: widely recognized and well-established, as in a brand name or style, widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence

These photos? Instantly recognizable and incredibly unique; the type of thing I expect, 80 years from now, to appear as an exhibit in art museums as an example of activism during the dawn of social media.

Please enjoy this tiny sample of those who participated.

"We need gardens to grow in

And there must always be room enough

For all of us." - Melissa Manchester
