#SpiritDay is an incredibly important moment for millions to come together and visibly show their support of the LGBTQ community. Statistics show that LGBTQ youth are facing more challenges than ever before – in-school, in their communities, and online. Over 70% of LGBTQ students report being verbally harassed*, 52% of LGBTQ youth enrolled in middle or high school report being bullied either in person or online in the past year**, and 1 in 3 LGBTQ youth reported that they have been physically threatened or harmed due to their LGBTQ identity**.

“Coty’s brands have been empowering people to express themselves and create their own vision of beauty for over a century. We are proud of our longstanding partnership with GLAAD and committed to furthering the mission of acceptance for the LGBTQ community by celebrating Spirit Day, the world’s largest anti-bullying campaign.” – Sue Y. Nabi, CEO of Coty.

On Wednesday, October 19th the Empire State Building was lit “Go Purple” and shined its tower in support of Spirit Day. Sally Hansen and GLAAD executives hosted a Lighting Ceremony alongside RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2 and All Stars Seasons 1- & 5-star Jujubee, with a special performance by New York’s adult LGBTQ cheerleading squad Gotham Cheer to help kick off the celebrations.

Sally Hansen is encouraging all of its employees, customers, and partners to openly share their support for LGBTQ youth and fight back against bullying for Spirit Day 2022. In addition to wearing purple on this day and throughout the month of October, participants can download educational resources and graphics for sharing with family and friends, take the pledge against bullying, spread the word on social media, and donate to support LGBTQ youth at glaad.org/spiritday.
