"Day of Purple" candlelight vigil, October 20

| News

In light of the recent deaths of gay youth in the United States due to bullying, the 秀色短视频 Diversity Office, the 秀色短视频 Rainbow Alliance, the PEI Abegweit Rainbow Collective, and AIDS-PEI are hosting an open Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday, October 20 at 7:00 pm in front of Main Building (the 秀色短视频 Quad).

This event is part of the "Day of Purple", inspired by the recent suicide of Tyler Clementi and four other young males, and to remember those who have been directly or indirectly impacted by homophobia and bullying of all types. Everyone is welcome to attend-to remember those lives that have been lost, and to stand up against homophobia and bullying in our schools, workplaces, and Island communities. Candles will be provided.

For more information, call the 秀色短视频 Diversity Office at (902) 628-4332.
