Today is the National Day Of Silence, which brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools.The web site notes: "This year's event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression." Of course, this is also the day that we thank our sponsors. And we have a record number of companies to thank this week. We offer sincere gratitude to Beggar's Banquet, Crown Publishing, Fuerzabruta, Honda Fit, Kimora, LG Scarlett, MGM Grand Foxwoods, Randomhouse, Redken, Unscrew America, Uwishunu.com, VW. We could not do this without you. As always, those interested in getting in bed with us (financially!) should peek here for info.
