Day of Silence

If you noticed that the campus hallways were a little quieter than normal, it’s because of the Day of Silence.

This national protest is to focus the public's attention on the many hardships lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals face everyday.

This is the seventh year CSULB had participated in the event. The Day of Silence is sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center, the Rainbow Alliance and is funded by Associated Students Inc.

Maraiana MeJordan, a CSULB freshman, was one of the many students participating in the event. Her commitment to the protest resulted in her even go as far as not to write down commentary on paper about the event .
