Kamloops kids protest homophobia

The Kamloops Daily News reports that a group of students at Brocklehurst Secondary are staging a protest against homophobia.

The Gay Lesbian Alliance at the school is holding a Day of Silence to raise awareness about the difficulties faced by GLBT students. Although not mentioned in the KDN article, this is apparently a continent-wide action taking place April 18 and kicking off Pride Week.

Silencing highschoolers alone takes Herculean effort, so good on them!
