Don’t forget to wear pink tomorrow! April 13 is International Day of Pink!
?️?
The International Day of Pink is a worldwide anti-bullying and anti-homophobia event held annually during the second week of April. Similar to Pink Shirt Day (held in February) in that it also seeks to end all bullying, the Day of Pink is more specifically aimed towards anti-LGBTQ+ bullying.

A little background about the day:
?️?
The event began when two Canadian high school students noticed a gay student at their school being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. The two students got everyone at their school to wear pink the following day as a gesture of support, inspiring Jer’s Vision (now Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity) to establish the International Day of Pink.
