This past Fall, students and gay-straight alliances across the country participated in Transgender Day of Remembrance to bring attention to bullying based on gender identity and expression, and to memorialize those who were killed dur to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.

The campaign includes humorous public service announcements featuring stars like Hilary Duff and Wanda Sykes interrupting teenagers who use the term "that's so gay" and was selected over more than 50 other ad campaigns from the past year.

"Ultimately, the goal is to reduce and prevent the use of homophobic language in an effort to create a more positive environment for LGBT teens. The campaign also aims to reach adults, including school personnel and parents; their support of this message is crucial to the success of efforts to change behavior."
