I know theres already too many of these things but as the father of two daughters who have been bullied before and one who has recently come out I wanted to post. And yeah I dont have any purple clothing either.

specifically for acknowledging bullying against the homosexual community?

No offense meant, just seeing if I understand this correctly. It's a very specific cause, hehe.

Anyway, best of luck to you and your family on this matter.

Millions go purple on Spirit Day in a stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Observed annually since 2010, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, and public figures wear purple, which symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag.
Yeah I read that.

Didn't find it clear. That description seems to support two issues:

Issue 1: Stopping bullying
Issue 2: Supporting homosexuals

Where logic would dictate it is just: Stopping bullying against homosexuals.
