Today's "Day of Dialogue" -- sponsored by Focus on the Family and Alliance Defense Fund -- also offers a counter to tomorrow's pro-homosexual observance in schools. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/19/sending-different-message-on-day-of-silence/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

The problem was compounded by a school policy that did not adequately counter such harassment, she said. To the contrary, Justin’s school allowed such events as the “Day of Truth” to occur: The annual antigay event is organized by the social conservative legal group Alliance Defense Fund, though the ex-gay group Exodus International has also supported Day of Truth in the past. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/16/day-of-truth-anti-gay-bullying/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

In a blog he wrote, “Christians who oppose the blatant promotion of the homosexual agenda are often labeled as bullies. But respectfully speaking the truth is never an act of bullying. In fact, speaking the truth is the greatest act of love we can show to others.” <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/04/15/christian-youth-encouraged-to-dialogue-during-day-of-silence/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

ADF sees a “Day of Truth” as a conservative response to GLSEN’s “Day of Silence,” and promotes the event on the school day following the “Day of Silence.” . . . The Day of Truth is now sponsored by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family and has been renamed the “Day of Dialogue.” ADF is continuing to provide free legal assistance to participating students. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/04/14/the-t-shirt-wars-courts-struggle-to-find-balance-between-free-speech-and-harassment/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ADF Senior Counsel Joe Infranco <a href="http://www.crosswalk.com/news/commentary/11602498/">writing at Crosswalk</a>: The Day of Truth hit a nerve with both supporters and opponents. Opponents were struck by the sheer audacity that someone would express an opinion off the “party line.” Supporters, on the other hand, were thrilled to see the issue engaged. They had watched for years as schools waded into the culture wars, politicizing the topic—usually under the cover of “tolerance.” <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/20/joe-infranco-day-of-truth-responds-to-glsen-day-of-silence/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

We've seen where teachers actively promote the Day of Silence, where they permit the distribution of Day of Silence flyers in homeroom class, where they actively participate in the Day of Silence." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/17/students-stand-up-against-gay-movement/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

This year’s observance will be held April 20, the first school day after the Day of Silence.

"People of faith who choose to surrender their sexuality to Christ and who choose to live their lives in a way that is different than the culture's new normal are now the new social outcasts. It's obvious that people of faith in general are in the same category. I was just reading that California's Prop. 8 opponents are now circulating maps identifying the personal homes of individuals who financially supported Prop. 8 in order to harass their families and shame their views! Unbelievable.

Many students will risk the rejection of their peers and subject themselves to outright discrimination on April 20 to stand up for biblical truth on campuses nationwide on the <a href="http://www.dayoftruth.org/main/default.aspx">Day of Truth</a>." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/01/alan-chambers-christians-the-new-social-outcasts/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
