T.R. Knight among those participating in National Day of Silence

Tomorrow is the National Day of Silence, and this year's observance is a memorial to the life and tragic death of Lawrence King:

"The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. Hundreds of thousands of students will come together on April 25 to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior."

The 12th annual observance grows in stature (and controversy) every year, and it'll be interesting to see how the media covers it (if at all). It'll be hard to ignore this year, though, as both out entertainer Lance Bass and talk show host Larry King have filmed PSA's about it, and out actor T.R. Knight will participate in the ceremony at the Miguel Contreras Learning Complex in Los Angeles. I'd be surprised if the increasingly vocal Ellen Degeneres didn't mention it on her show today or tomorrow.

After the break, you can see the Day of Silence PSA from Lance Bass.
