Spirit Day is a means of speaking out against bullying towards LGBTQI+ youth. Wear purple on October 17th to demonstrate your solidarity with LGBTQI+ youth!
The Spirit Day event will feature a youth panel and fashion show performance from guest hosts, Preston Souza and Alex O'Hanley from the Phluid Project. The Phluid Project is a gender-free brand (androgynous, unisex, gender neutral) selling clothing, accessories, and beauty for the LGBTQIA+ community.
We will also be celebrating International Pronouns Day on October 16th with a tabling event in Cougar Mall from 10 AM-2 PM. International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Both We Are Family and the College of Charleston are listed as official endorsers of International Pronoun Day on the website.
