Lance Bass of NSYNC talks about the importance of GLSEN’s National Day of Silence in this public service announcement, leading up to the Day of Silence on April 25, 2008 to address anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools.

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. Hundreds of thousands of students will come together on April 25 to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior. and get involved at http://www.dayofsilence.org/
