Silence can be Deafening

Day of Silence - look it up on Wikipedia.com - it began in 1997 and from what I can read it is a student organized, non-violent, non-confrontational day that protests through silence the bullying and harassment that the gay and lesbian community faces. The 2007 date has already passed. But for 2008 wouldn't it be good for Christians to stand alongside gay students and their allies to support their efforts and bring awareness to this prejudice and hatred?
At the same time we would, by our actions, be combatting something that the Christian faith comes under regular critiscism for - that being how we treat homosexuals. The Church is quick to point fingers at the sin of homosexuality, which I believe is not God's design for relationships...but neither is multiple marriages, fractured families etc. etc. (all of which are commonly present in our local faith communities and don't come under harsh judgement and public ridicule and pointed out as an abomination in the way homosexuality does).
Let me be clear, I believe homosexuality is sin, but our battle is not against flesh and blood...and what better way to come against the powers of division and prejudice, judgement and hate than standing in unity and love with my neighbour.
Or...you could join (or not) the counter movement 'Day of Truth' founded in 2005 - look it up with the same source as above.
The Day of Silence is an American movement, however, if given the opportunity to participate in either protest I would ask myself if by doing so are my actions good or evil...I have to say that I would participate in the Day of Silence.

Will you? I'll take your silence as a yes.
