Show your support for diversity and inclusion on Spirit Day, which takes place on the third Thursday of October! This day was created in 2010 as a way to stand against bullying and show solidarity with LGBTQ+ youth who experience high rates of bullying and harassment. It's also a chance to celebrate everyone’s unique identities, cultures, and backgrounds. Show your pride by wearing purple or sharing your story on social media – no matter how you choose to participate, it will help spread the message that we are all equal. Together, we can create a more inclusive world!
Wearing purple is a great way to show support for Spirit Day. Whether it's a t-shirt, hat, or even a pair of shoes, wearing purple will help spread awareness about the importance of acceptance and kindness.

Take some time to learn about the history of Spirit Day and the LGBTQ+ community. Read books, watch documentaries, or attend events that help you better understand the issues faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.
The observance of Spirit Day encourages recognition and support for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) community. By wearing purple and inviting co-workers and friends to participate, more people are made aware that this is an issue worth fighting for.
Spirit day creates a safe and inclusive environment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. It's an important reminder that everyone deserves respect and to be accepted for who they are, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
It's no secret that LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination and prejudice in many parts of the world. By participating in Spirit Day, we're sending a strong message that anyone - regardless of their gender or sexuality - should be treated equally and with dignity.
