Wednesday, October 20 was Spirit Day, so in support of queer youth and in opposition to homophobic bullying, my work people and I decked ourselves out in purple.

Morning show host Chris was clad in purple from head to toe. Even his backpack matched the ensemble!

Weekend host and promotions guru Neil went for the more subtle colour pop with a snazzy purple tie.

Overnight personality and programming manager Amanda busted out the argyle.

Evening host Sean also rocked the purple argyle. Pretty pretty.

Afternoon show co-host Acey showed up all decked out in…black and white. Acey always wears black and white. Occasionally blue. Her interpretation of Spirit Day was either really lazy, or really creative.

Of course, tackling bullying and homophobia takes more than just wearing purple. Here are a few resources on how to take on bullying and homophobia:
