Evolution Logurt - Spirit Day

'Attention students,' Professor Charles Xavier telepathically called out to all the teenagers residing in the mansion, 'Please report immediately to the main hall. I have an announcement to make.'

And so, begrudgingly, everyone shuffled their way out of bed.

Once every single mutant had gathered in the main hall of the mansion questions began to abound about why they had been called in her so early in the morning, they didn't need to get up for another hour!

"Good morning everyone, thank you for joining me," Xavier said as he maneuvered his power-chair into the main hall. Everyone was shocked at his current apparel: a light purple (borderline pink), button-up pajama top and pajama bottom underneath a dark purple bath robe.

"Uh, professor? You do know that, like, purple just doesn't work on a man your age," Kitty Pryde said.

Xavier gave a sad smile and said, "My apparel is actually part of the reason I've called you in here. As you know, today is October 20th. Today is known, world-wide, as Spirit Day. A day in which we remember, and honor the young men and women you took their lives as a result of persecution. Not from being a mutant, or for practicing a particular religion, but because of their sexual orientation."

Everyone was now wide awake and desperately trying to process what their Professor was telling them.

"I am wearing purple today to honor young men and women, like yourselves, who took their lives because they were gay or accused of being gay, and did not want to suffer society's ill-placed wrath. I ask that today you do the same. Present yourself in purple in some way, shape, fashion, or form, and remember those who, like you, were persecuted for something they could not control."

As the students talked amongst themselves, a lone figure walked up to Xavier.

"Kurt, is there something you need?"

Kurt Wagner was on pins and needles; what he was about to do scared him more than going toe-to-toe with the Juggernaut. However, the fact that, at the very least, he'd have the support of Charles Xavier reassured him somewhat.

"I…I think I'm ready professor," he stuttered.

Xavier gave him a comforting smile and said so only Kurt could hear, "The floor is yours, I'll be here the whole time, and," Xavier motioned for Logan to come over, "So will Logan."

Kurt took a hold of Logan's hand, took a deep breath, and said the last two words anyone had ever expected the fuzzy elf to say:

"I'm gay."
