Today marks the national observation of the Day of Silence!  Notice the voices you are not hearing today. Those who choose to be silent today do so to represent the silence that many LGBT youth feel everyday because they are afraid for people to know who they really are. Many LGBT youth are fearful of being harassed or mistreated. You can change that by ensuring that everyone at York feels safe and accepted for exactly who they are!
