http://gayinaugusta.com/2009/04/national-day-of-silence/ a dialog on being gay in the Augusta, GA area Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:36:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 http://gayinaugusta.com/2009/04/national-day-of-silence/comment-page-1/#comment-94 Kristi Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:36:59 +0000 http://gayinaugusta.com/?p=52#comment-94 I live in the Augusta area, but my girlfriend is the president of her college's spectrum group in Columbia, SC, so I had the opportunity of participating in the Day of Silence with many students, faculty, and staff there. It was difficult to be silent for the day, but I managed to do it and felt good about making a stand against anti LGBT behavior. I hope that if more and more people continue to raise awareness about this issue, we will start to see a significant decline in the number of LGBT students who face bullying and harassment.
