Today is Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars Day!

Today is a day for everyone to declare their heart exists only for lightsabers and Millennium Falcons.  Today is Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars Day!

In case you never knew this day existed, here is the background. Last year, the interwebs learned about Katie. Katie is a first grader who loved Star Wars so much that she carried her Star Wars water bottle to school. The boys in her class made a point of teasing her that "Star Wars was only for boys." Katie's mom blogged about this incident and the larger issue of bullying. Soon after, geeks from all around the world were siding with Katie, letting her know she was not alone in her love of Star Wars.

So that brings us to today. Today you should celebrate by wearing some Star Wars to show your love and donate a Star Wars toy to a toy drive, making sure to specify that the toy is for a boy or girl.

Ultimately, today is about acceptance and equality for all. Even if you don't like Star Wars, you should still find meaning in that. Still, everything is better with a Wookie.

Today is the day to let your geek flag fly high! 

Today is the day you stand up and wish random people to "Live Long and Prosper" and proclaim that Greedo Shot First. 

Today is the day you let haters and the confused know that you are proud of who you are. 

Today is the day when arguments end and no one questions your dedication to your passion. 

Today is the day when n00bs and L33t stand together and Whedonites and Twihards join hands to say together that no matter what, YOU ARE PROUD TO BE A GEEK! 

Today is also the day certain fan groups celebrate a specific holiday, at least according to Wikipedia.

To Hitchhiker fans, have a Happy Towel Day.

To the Jedi, Sith, Stormtroopers and Rebels, have a Merry Star Wars Day.

Finally, I wish the best to Discworld fans on the Glorious 25 May. 

Please rejoice in your fandoms and 

have an amazing Geek Pride Day !!
