Wear It Purple 8/29

Friday, August 29, 2025, galvanizes Wear It Purple Day, an international movement rooted in Australia to uplift and support LGBTQIA+ young people. Now entering its 15th year, the 2025 theme—“Bold Voices, Bright Futures”—centers on amplifying the stories and leadership of queer youth around the world Heckin' Unicorn+14Awareness Days+14Reddit+14.

What began in 2010 as a reaction to tragic bullying and youth suicide (notably the impact of Tyler Clementi’s story) now thrives as a global symbol of solidarity, resilience, and community for LGBTQIA+ youth Wikipedia+1Awareness Days+1. Over the past year, we've witnessed renewed debates over anti-LGBTQ laws in several U.S. states—making it more vital than ever to ensure safe, visible spaces for queer youth.

At LGBT Senior Housing and Care, we celebrate connections across generations. We believe LGBTQIA+ seniors, with their lived histories of resilience and activism, can be invaluable mentors to younger people navigating identity, acceptance, and belonging. Our mission is to create affirming environments where elders and youth are both seen and heard—where intergenerational solidarity builds stronger futures.

✅ Take the Purple Pledge with us:

● Wear purple in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ youth

● Share stories of support, acceptance, and unity across generations

● Advocate for safe educational policies and community resources

Together, we can ensure bright futures for queer youth—and honor the voices that pave the way. 🌈
