In the Spirit of the Day

It's Spirit Day. Wear purple. 

Say something nice to someone 

you wouldn't usually talk to. 

Stop attacking people 

for being different. 

#love

— Johnny Weir

Standing proud with GLAAD 

and against bullying, 

on Spirit Day and every day, 

and wishing for all of us to always be 

surrounded by love, 

not hate. 

May that be the world we live in, 

and may each one of us do our part 

to make it happen, 

starting right now.

New!! Johnny is writing a weekly column 

exclusively for the Falls Church News-Press! 

His debut article  posted yesterday—an enjoyable 

and thoughtful read about what women really want 

from the men in their lives. 

FCNP owner and editor-in-chief Nicholas Benton, 

named one of Equality Virginia's "OUTstanding Virginians" 

in 2012, announced the column in a press release 

in which he noted, "I am delighted to have Johnny on board. 

I have known him since 2004 and have constantly encouraged 

him to do this, because in addition to being 

a world-class athlete, he is incredibly articulate, 

has a very good heart and has a lot to say."

---

Johnny's also blogging regularly 

about his comeback journey for ESPN!! 

His first entry, "A Fresh Start"—personal, honest, 

very Johnny—was posted last Friday and is the source 

of the quote on the Spirit Day photo above. 

Looking forward to reading more from him 

as the season progresses!
