Spirit Day turn purple for #SpiritDay LGBT youth wear purple to speak out against bullying, Oakham Town Council



The Rutland Times front page story, brings Oakham Town Council into disrepute.

The story shows the authority to be made up of Homphobic, Racist bullies. 

Although I am gay and can no longer be described as youthful, I have suffered Homophobia on 
and off since my youth, 

I had suffered nothing as bad I do from 2008 to this present day thanks to rapacious Oakham Town Council, Rutland County Council and Leicestershire Police.

Earlier this week I communicated with Oakham Mayor Adam Lowe and asked
if he would be writing a letter to The Rutland  Times distancing his council from
Homphobic Bullying? his response was "no"

Maybe he and his good wife will pop on a purple dress at his charity tea dance this afternoon at Victoria Hall

What is Spirit Day?

An annual day held on the third thursday of October when millions  wear purple to speak out against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.

Where did the idea come from?


An amazing teenager named Brittany McMillan wanted to remember those young people who lost their lives to suicide and to take a stand against bullying.
