Honestly, the Day of Silence isn't promoting homosexuality to any degree. It is against the discrimination of this group of people. This includes the abuse, the fights, all of the violence brought on by any person's sexuality. Possibly these protests/boycotts weren't informed of the true meaning behind the Day of Silence, or possibly they are just terrible people and wish pain upon them. Either way, there's something wrong with the picture. Especially if the latter applies, because this majority Christian group would then themselves be sinning in turn. And why someone should be excused for that absence is beyond me, because it is not a medical issue, and it is not a school issue, it is simply bigotry. Of course, everyone has their right to protest, and by all means let them. I just believe they are wrong in what they are protesting against. They might as well eliminate the Day of Silence, and just protest homosexuality altogether.
