Members and supporters of George Mason’s Gay-Straight Alliance Catherine Duarte, Johanna Garg, Lillian Patterson, Mariam Alshagra, Jackie Weinberg and Juliana Hardesty gather with sponsor Madame Johnson in their t-shirts with the words, “What will you do to end the silence?” Today is the 11^th annual Day of Silence, a nationwide event meant to bring attention to discrimination based on sexual orientation, ethnicity and gender. The students participating will remain silent for the remainder of the school day to echo the silence that marginalized students face everyday. (Photo by Anna Duning)
