Honey Boo Boo Blacks Out Bullying
The reality star and her family join in the antibullying effort.
Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
Many schools and communities are observing Black Out Bullying Day today (and some are doing it for a whole week), with supporters asked to wear black T-shirts to take a stand against bullying of young people because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic. The Honey Boo Boo gang got in on the act with this photo on Facebook.
