My school's GSA did this, and IMHO, it's not necessarily the individual GLBT people doing it, it's the whole group participating that makes a difference. In the group at my school, they gave everyone a piece of paper with a paragraph explanation of the event if they were doing it, so that they didn't just not say anything if someone addressed them. And a day of silence is powerful because it recognizes that a group is currently being silenced by an over the top gesture. That's the overarching philosophy behind it. TL;DR: Day of silence is not a bad thing. Edit: HOLY CRAP TOTPD!! |

more like "hay, we can't respond to your attaks on a daily basis, so we're using a hyperbolic gesture to get your attention." |

Ok, this has gone on long enough. Break it up, fellas. Move along. Paint some more toast or something. |
