Spirit Day was my first LGBT event. For those of you who don't know Spirit Day is a day that everyone wears purple in remembrance of the LGBT youth who've taken their own lives due to bullying or what have you... This particular year we lost a young man like the day before, might have been a couple days. His name was Corey Jackson and I didn't know him personally but I had a ton of friends who knew him and it turned Oakland University's campus upside down. It was a huge tragedy but it was nice to see the support given by other students. The campus was literally painted purple...
