Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay.
Most of us are, thankfully, residents of countries that support
tolerance and many of our families have settled in these places simply
for that reason. Generations later, it is our responsibility to
perpetuate that message of tolerance across our new social platforms,
including the internet.
As members of the nail polish blogging
community, we all share a love of beauty, color, and lacquer. Other
than that, we are remarkably different: from our race to our religion to
our hair color...even to our polish application techniques. To
marginalize anyone because of those differences is completely
unacceptable and today I take a stand against that. I refuse to allow
other people's view of "normal" dictate how I behave, believe, and blog.
In solidarity with a multitude of bloggers linked below, my
purple manicure represents my proud commitment to the No H8 movement.
Today, November 8, I dedicate my post to ending bullying of any kind and
to encouraging diversity and imperfection among our colorful community.
In honor of the No H8 Movement, I am wearing purple to show my support. As a future teacher, this cause is close to my heart. I want to be an advocate for all children, especially children who are feeling down on themselves. Bullying is never acceptable.
Shown is two coats of Sephora by OPI Just A Little Dangerous topped with one coat of Cult Nails Seduction.
Do what you can to show your support, even if it's as simple as painting your nails. We can stand together against bullying!
