The color purple represents "spirit" on the inconic rainbow flag.
It seems alot of people wore purple on October 20th, which was great to see. It's absolutely horrible that anyone should feel they need to take their own lives as a result of being who they are. I truly hope this event helped to bring awareness to the issue, however, people need to be aware of this every day, not just once per year.

I believe in full rights for everyone but special interest groups have no business co-opting colors without a very broad basis. And the bullying of gay teens, while a shame, is way too specialized an issue to rate a "day".

Very detailed answer, thanks for helping me reach my goal of learning something new today. Which is very surprising, only because of the fact of my tiredness.
This is such a real problem! It's hard to believe it's been over 12 years since the torture and killing of Matthew Shephard, arguably the first noted case of such abuse--or at least the first one that got the nation's attention.
