青年团体“同性恋异性恋联盟网络”通过多种方式制止针对同性恋者的校园霸凌行为。
本文是介绍美国青少年组织的系列短篇之一。
10月20日为“精神日”（Spirit Day），年轻人团体“同性恋异性恋联盟网络”（Gay-Straight Alliance Network）的百万支持者在这一天穿戴紫色，呼吁人们关注“同性恋异性恋联盟网络”制止针对同性恋者的校园霸凌行为。这幅照片中的三个年轻人是来自加利福尼亚州的该网络的三名支持者。
“精神日”是一名美国少年于2010年在听到年轻人因遭受霸凌而自杀的新闻后发起的。于1998年成立的“同性恋异性恋联盟网络”这个团体致力于制止针对被视为同性恋、双性恋或变性者——即LGBT——的青少年进行身体和语言攻击以及网上骚扰。一些学生以嘲弄他们的LGBT同学取乐，而该联盟网络教育学生们认识到，这不是开玩笑的事。
10月份被定为LGBT 月，“同性恋异性恋联盟网络”成员在这个月通过在各自的学校进行宣讲、在课堂上学习了解LGBT英雄人物，以及同教师和学校董事会沟通等方式，努力提高人们对LGBT人士的历史贡献的认识。

LGBT Youth Group Stands Up to Bullying
This is the fifth in a series of six profiles on youth organizations in the United States.
The Gay-Straight Alliance Network wants bullying of LGBT youth to stop.
On October 20, dubbed Spirit Day, millions of supporters of the youth group Gay-Straight Alliance Network wear purple to draw attention to GSA Network’s efforts to stop the bullying of gays at school. The photo shows three California network supporters.
Spirit Day was started by an American teen in 2010 as a response to news of young people who had taken their lives after being bullied. The student network, founded in 1998, works to end physical, verbal and online harassment of young people perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, a group known as LGBT youth. While some students think taunting their LGBT classmates is funny, the network teaches that it is no laughing matter.
Throughout October, recognized as LGBT History Month, GSA Network members raise awareness of the contributions of LGBT people throughout history by giving presentations at their schools, learning about LGBT heroes in class, and speaking to teachers and school boards.
