Youth flashmob protest for National Day of Silence

POPWIRED – Gay and lesbian youth from Youth First Texas demonstrated at a silent flash mob last Friday at the Rosa Parks Plaza to honor the National Day of Silence.
With their mouth covered in duct tape and homemade surgical mask, the youth joined hundreds of thousands of students nationwide to take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in their schools.
The flash mob took place at 5 p.m. in which participants literally froze in place for five minutes while other park patrons continued on with their daily lives. Some park patrons were confused while others stood stunned at the sight of the frozen youth.

Yo, hope you had a great weekend! My boyfriend and I spent this past weekend in Austin, Texas and has a blast. We went kayaking and got chase by some psycho duck who was trying to attack our paddle!
