On the first Friday of December (hence, today), the guys of the whole world are arranged something like a cosplay parade on the topic of "Star Wars" on the Internet and do this six years. What for? In solidarity with those who face harassment.
It all started in 2010. Seven-year-old Katie Goldman came home upset and asked to continue to pour her water with him not to the favorite thermos, but in pink. But why? After all, the pictures of the heroes of the "Star Wars" were on the beloved, and Katie simply adored fiction. It turns out that the boys at school brought Katie to tears for walking with a "boyish" bottle! So they said: "Star Wars" - only for boys.
Mom Katie, Kerry Goldman, was ready for the fact that sooner or later the girl can start teasing. She is a reception, Jewish, wearing glasses, and at that time also closed one eye, patient, bandage. But what will it be teased only for being fond of fantastics?
Kerry wrote about the situation in his column on the Chicago Now website. Post instantly became viille. A large number of girls, girls and women responded to him, telling their story of fantastic fantastics and hurt by classmates for the "wrong" hobby. Actress Tayber, voiced by Padme, wrote Katie encouraging comment. Usually, the flash of supporting comments such stories and end, but in the case of Katie everything went on.
Gicki of the world, looking around and realizing how many of them, decided not to sit back, and every year on the first Friday of December to arrange the day "War Wars, Star Wars." It's very simple to participate in it.
It is necessary to perform three conditions.
- Wear a suit related to the "star wars".
- Donate a new, not used, toy on the topic of "star wars" to children in a difficult situation (and mark them "for a girl or boy", otherwise they are given only to boys, and girls also love fiction!)
- Share your photo in a suit or facebook community, or in your Twitter with Hasteg # WearStarwars2015.
Some of this seems not enough, and they add more tags like "I am against the etching." Well, right, in the end, because everything was stood! We are also against the etching! Give fiction and suit of the attack aircraft with every girl who dreams of them.
