Guest guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 I don't think we can use purple - didn't they just have something on the news about purple being the color for gay pride? (no offense meant... we just don't want to use someone else's colors) Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 Grey or off-white would be nice....but how do you get a spongiform ribbon as stated below? Let's try to get the color decided on soon....so we can start wearing ribbons for CJD victims...Anything to pass the word on this horrible disease.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 good idea. these colors seem to say what the disease is about Dolores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 Yes, I agree. It sounds like we should narrow it down to: Gray, off-white or Purple. I like the idea of having it Purple. (since it is Alzheimer related) e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 Dear All, FYI - purple is THE color for feminism - continuing the tradition of purple, green, and white worn by the suffragettes - purple to mourn the oppression of women, green to celebrate our growth, and white to celebrate our purity both in public and in private!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 Dear Liz, Your right about purple and its connection with gay pride.I have asked around about purple and people think I am crazy that I did not know it was the " gay " color. I am with you, I don't wish to offend ,but I would not wear that color and others would not ask about it thinking it was for gay pride. Then nothing would be accomplished,we do need something very original...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 Purple is the color that has been associated with the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association since its founding in 1980. I have worn purple ribbons in memory of my mom, who died from CJD, for at least the past five years. The Empire State Building (and other buildings around the country) are lit up in purple in November each year in memory of those who have suffered from dementia. And I will be wearing my purple ribbon, along with a button that asks " Why purple? " when I go to Washington to lobby Congress later this month. The color issue is not significant to me. I'd be happy to have a white ribbon or a multicolored ribbon or whatever in addition to my purple one. I would also gladly wear a ribbon (probably red for AIDS) to support my gay friends. However, I have never had anyone confuse my purple ribbon, worn as a means of consciouness-raising about my mom's illness and death, with any other cause (though I suppose that if Jerry Falwell can declare that Pinkie Winkie, the purple telebtubby, is " gay, " there probably are some who might!).
