I am sure you have seen it all over campus and maybe for a brief second you contemplated what it is about. I mean, "Silence = Death" seems quite contrary to the whole idea of being silent for the day. If anything, it should be the Day of Loud and Lively Discussion, right? Confronted by this seemingly ill-conceived slogan or campaign name, maybe you were able to piece together that SASD is sponsoring the event and therefore must have something to do with LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans) rights. If you have, your deductive skills have served you well, but the whole message is still unclear. Why are they being silent and why does Silence = Death? To understand this, you need to see life through the eyes of an LGBT individual, out or closeted, but especially the latter.

That they were unable to correctly spell the word "hypocrisy" was merely icing on the cake.
