This Friday, April 25, Rochester high-school and college campuses will be preparing for the weekend—quietly.  On April 25, 2008 students from all over the greater Rochester area will join students across the nation in a Day of Silence to protest the discrimination, harassment and abuse — in effect the silencing — faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students and their allies in schools. 

A huge Day of Silence Rally, where over 200 student from greater Rochester are expected to gather to break the silence, will occur at 4:00pm on Friday, April 25th at the Gay Alliance Youth Center – 875 E. Main Street, at the Auditorium Center.
