             Dressed in their
                    Day of Silence tee-shirts, GSA president Andy Tonken and
                    junior GSA member Lillian Patterson display the relief following
                    their day of silence Wednesday. This annual exercise, a project
                    of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network in collaboration
                    with the United States Student Association, is a student-led day
                    of action during which those who support making anti-LGBT
                    bias unacceptable in schools take a day-long vow of silence
                    to recognize and protest discrimination and harassment. (Photo
