Well, the National Day of Silence serves two purposes: it is a symbolic event where the silence ppl take upon themselves represents the silence imposed upon LGBT by society, and just by having ppl participate shows that there will be an intolerance for this kind of silence to continue. The National Day of Silence speaks out without using any words.
Secondly, the act of remaining silent lets one who is not LGB or T discover what it means to have to be silent about certain aspects of who you are in a world which will not let you speak out. Its a way of helping one discover the atrocity of making one silent.
