Spirit Day is an annual LGBTQ+ awareness and anti-bullying campaign that encourages people to wear the color purple or display purple symbols to show support for LGBTQ+ youth and stand up against bullying, particularly anti-LGBTQ+ bullying. Spirit Day typically takes place on the third Thursday in October each year.
It was initiated to raise awareness about the challenges that LGBTQ+ youth face, particularly in schools, where they may experience bullying, discrimination, and a lack of acceptance. The campaign promotes inclusivity, kindness, and understanding, with a focus on creating safe and welcoming environments for all. Purple is the chosen color for Spirit Day as it symbolizes "spirit" on the LGBTQ+ Pride flag. By wearing or displaying purple on this day, individuals and organizations show their solidarity with LGBTQ+ youth and their commitment to fostering a more supportive and accepting community.
