latitude_southOne BNA (Bitter Non-American [USA]-dwelling) response to the question of "Why do we need another day when we already have National Coming Out Day?"
-- Um, not all of us are in the US, you know?
I'm not entirely inclined to support this whole "Wear Purple" day/Spirit Day thing, not least because of the source I've seen the majority of links coming from, plus the whole lack of permission to use pictures of minors issue. (Plus, it's a weekday. I'll be wearing purple. My uniform is purple. Heck, half my non-uniform wardrobe is purple, it's not like me-wearing-purple will make anyone look twice at me.)
But citizen of the USA though I may be, I'm also an expatriate, and ... you use the word 'National'. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
