Description

"All profits from this pin will be donated to GLSEN to raise awareness on the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ people in schools."

Started in 1996s, GLSEN Day of Silence is a USA national student-led demonstration to spread awareness about the effects of bullying and harassment of LGBTQ+ students. On the second friday of April, students take a day-long vow of silence to represent the silencing of LGBTQ+ students.

It is crucial for LGBTQ+ students to grow up in an accepting environment for their mental and social well-being. LGBTQ youth who committed suicide were 5x more likely to have been bullied. Schools can help to create a safer environment by having a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA).

To learn more about Day of Silence, visit GLSEN's social and website for more information.

A meaningful pickup for anyone who stands with students fighting anti LGBTQ+ silencing in schools, wear it yourself or gift it to a teacher, ally, or organizer who shows up for the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Proud Zebra give back to the LGBTQ+ community?

Yes! We're a queer-owned small business, and a portion of every sale is donated to local LGBTQ+ charities and the pride festivals we set up at. We also have 6 awareness pride pins where 100% of the profits go directly to specific 2SLGBTQIA+ partners. As of May 2026, we've donated $10,219.58 to LGBTQ+ charities and community partners since 2021, and we'll keep going. You can see our full donation record here.

Q: What type of backing is on the pin?

All our pins come with 2 rubber clasp pinbacks, creating a tight fit to secure the pin. Rubber clasps are light in weight, skin-friendly, easy to remove, and held down by friction. Upgrading to a deluxe locking clasp would provide a more secure placement of the pin and keeps the pin in place. A deluxe locking clasp is a safer option if the placement of the pin experiences lots of movement (eg. backpack, scarf, lanyard, keychain). Learn more about our pinbacks in this article.

Q: Where can I learn more about all the pride flags?

We wrote a complete guide to all 32 LGBTQ+ pride flags — covering each designer, year, and what every colour means. Read the full 32-flag guide →
