In the face of rising hate and harmful legislation, silence is no longer an option.
Originally created in 1996 by students, GLSEN’s Day of Silence was a way to honor LGBTQ+ youth who face bullying, harassment, and discrimination in schools by taking a vow of silence. It was a symbolic gesture—powerful, poignant, and deeply needed.
But times have changed.
With over 500+ anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in the U.S.—many of them targeting trans youth—silence doesn’t feel strong enough anymore. That’s why we’re standing behind a new movement: No Silence Day.
What is No Silence Day?
No Silence Day is more than a moment of reflection—it’s a day of loud, visible, and unapologetic action. It’s about showing up, speaking out, and standing with the LGBTQ+ community—especially the young people who need to know they’re seen, supported, and celebrated.
Visibility is resistance. Pride is protest. Flags are power.

I live in Essex and gay people are scared to come out. It feels like we are back in the 1970’s again. We must stick together and speak out. Never live in fear of bigotry. I am now 65 years old. Nd have lived through some terrible times. We can afford to go back to those days of hate and violence. Speak out our lay down and let the bigots walk over you and end your life because that’s what it will come to. I am not being alarmist. I am speaking from experience. Take note of what the government and fringe hate groups are doing. Before it’s to late.
