personally, I'd have a pretty hard time getting through a day of work not speaking.
And while I agree that gay people do still face prejudice in many societies and in many area's, which is unfair and should be addressed - I think there are groups and causes throughout the world possibly more deserving of attention. People in Sudan are being slaughtered because of their ethnicity, which is a bit different to not being allowed to fully marry and potentially being bullied at school.
Just because there are worse things it doesnt mean you cant protest against the prejudice that exists, but a silent protest is quite a shocking and powerful statement (if it takes place on a wide scale - obs its not if a few 1000 college students spend the day at home not talking - no one would even notice that) - and I think there are more important causes in the world today.
