Students are having a #DayOfSilence to highlight bullying and harassment of LGBTQ youth in schools.

According to an @HRC survey:

- 74% of LGBTQ youth don’t feel safe in classrooms
- 70% have been bullied for their sexual orientation
- 73% don’t feel like they can be themselves
43% of LGBTQ students have been bullied on school property in the last year, says @HRC.

Only 19 states + DC have anti-bullying laws protecting LGBTQ students
Only 17 states have LGBTQ anti-discrimination laws
Only 15 of those laws extend to transgender students
