"  If you read up on the Pretty Amazing finalists in our October issue, you already know all about LGBT advocate Brittany McMillan. With a single Tumblr post two years ago, Brittany started Spirit Day, a major social movement that helped give a voice to bullied teens. Last year, 3 million people joined Spirit Day by wearing purple (in real life and on Twitter). This year, on October 19th, we have the opportunity to rally together once again to make an even bigger impact. On Spirit Day, Seventeen will show its support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and honor the teens we&amp;#039;ve lost to suicide. Here are some easy ways to join us: 1. Go purple for #FashionFriday and rock your fave purple outfit 2. Make your Twitter and Facebook profile pictures purple. Find the tools you need at glaad.org/SpiritDay 3. Check out our Spirit Day Pinterest board for plenty of purple pinspiration 4. Send us a #SpiritDay tweet or take a #SpiritDay instagram pic of your purple spirit Can&amp;#039;t wait to see all of your #SpiritDay support (and share ours with you)! We&amp;#039;ll be tweeting our #SpiritDay pictures on October 19th so be sure to follow us @seventeenmag! XOXO -A "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
