Thursday 15 October saw thousands of social media users and numerous famous figures promote and demonstrate their support for Spirit Day 2020; an international LGBTQ+ awareness day with the aim of tackling bullying and harassment.
2020 marks the 10th annual Spirit Day after it was created by Canadian teen Brittany McMillian in 2010 as a response to the high number of LGBTQ+ student suicides that year, including the death of Tyler Clementi whose suicide made international headlines.
