Purple, Yahoo!’s official brand color, already runs deep in the veins of every Yahoo—but today, on the second anniversary of Spirit Day, Yahoos across the nation went “purple” for a very different reason: to speak out against anti-LGBT bullying.

From Sunnyvale to Santa Monica and New York to Hillsboro, Yahoos came to work sporting their best purple gear—the color of “spirit” on the rainbow flag—to stand side-by-side with millions of Americans to show their support and compassion for bullied LGBT youth who sometimes feel like suicide is the only answer. Spirit Day participants aim to give these young people hope that, with strength in numbers, we can stop senseless bullying from taking away innocent lives.

Spirit Day is a nationally observed day when people speak out against anti-LGBT bullying by wearing anything and everything purple. It started last year when 16-year-old Brittany McMillan asked her friends to support the cause by wearing purple. The movement quickly became viral. And now, in its second year, it’s supported by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)—along with its celebrity, corporate, and non-profit partners—to amplify the impact of the initiative.

To celebrate, the Yahoo! Pride employee resource group organized photo shoots around the country to capture true Yahoo! pride in action. Check out the pictures from our offices below.
