On Friday, members of the Gay-Straight Alliance participated in the National Day of Silence, which, according to sophomore Anna Chuslo, aims to raise awareness of hate crimes against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
“The event is designed to show support for people who can?t speak out on their own,” Chuslo said.
In addition to the Day of Silence, silhouettes were taped in the lobby to represent real victims of hate crimes.
“I hope to see people understand the difficulty LGBT students face,” Doan said.
The club also held a bake sale after school last week in order “to raise money for the club so we can continue to sponsor events,” Chuslo said.
