The Day of Silence v. The Day of Speech

Today is the Day of Silence, a day commemorating the silencing of LGBTQ persons and their supporters. I disagree with the idea that we should be silent today; these symbolic displays leave too much unsaid, unspecified for those not in the know. Rather, this should be a Day of Speech, when we verbally come out against our silencing and address the idiocy that discriminates against us.
