As you may know, today is the 12th Annual National Day of Silence, an annual observation in which students across the country take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) harassment faced by individuals in schools.

This year's event is being held in memory of one of my constituents, Lawrence "Larry" King, who was killed earlier this year in an act of anti-gay violence at E.O. Green Junior High.
