Worth doing, hands down.
How to participate in the day of silence
It made me 
"Illuminating, in that people seemed to either be supportive, think it was a waste, or be suprised that I cared enough about LGBT rights to go through with it."
How I did it: I put a bandana around my head, covering my mouth...and didn't talk for the day. Made answering questions in class and at work rather difficult, but my professors and bosses were all very supportive.
Lessons & tips: Make sure you let your boss, if you work, know about this before-hand.
People doing this are also doing these things:

silence is amazing
the whole idea of using silence to say something blows my mind
some people didn’t get it
and tried to trick me into talking
like i was on some bet
it was sad
but now i can really understand what people feel
im so glad i did this

It was a long day, and I almost quit a few times as many were not supportive and I really wanted to stand up for myself, but couldn’t. Is this truly how they feel? I was helpless, and angry, but it was an amazing experience and I want to do it for many years to come.

Did it and it’s soooooo worth doing!
I was probably the only one that I knew that actually participated, but I got a lot of people to listen to what I had to “say” (I wrote notes to get my points across all day). It was also fun to use my little shell whistle to get people’s attentions.
It was kind of hard though not to talk for part of the day because my friend’s boyfriend broke up with her that day and it was hard not to verbally console her. But it turned out to be better this way anyway because she liked the funny faces I made at her.
I plan on doing it untill there is not one more homophobic person on this earth.
So in other words forever!
I plan on doing it again I just need to remember that it’s on April 26 this year!
Well just thought that I’d go ahead and post about this and try to raise just a little more awareness and tell people how I felt about it.

i organized day of silence at our school in union county (north carolina) and it was HARD. we didn’t have any help from the administration and we had a lot of negative energy thrown at us and there weren’t that many people participating but it was worth it. there was an amazing sense of togetherness with the few that participated, and a real feeling that i was doing something worthwhile that i haven’t experienced since.
