Yesterday evening countless people across the nation participated in the You Are Loved chalk message project. The purpose is to raise awareness about GLBT suicides and in doing so, help prevent them. As many of you know, at least five gay youth committed suicide in the past month for no other reason other than that they are gay. All of them faced bullying and harassment for being gay.
At UMaine the Counseling Center, Student Affairs, and Wilde Stein organized the campaign on campus and this morning the campus was covered with messages of love, hope, and affirmation for GLBT individuals. I posted some pictures below. You can also learn more about the event here: Bangor Daily News and WABI TV
