About us
PFLAG is an organization of LGBTQ people, parents, families, and allies who work together to create an equitable and inclusive world. We are hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of chapters from coast to coast who are leading with love to support families, educate allies, and advocate for just, equitable, and inclusive legislation and policies. Since our founding in 1973, PFLAG works every day to ensure LGBTQ people everywhere are safe, celebrated, empowered and loved. Straight for Equality is an outreach and education program created in 2007 by PFLAG National to empower new allies who, unlike a more traditional PFLAG member, don’t necessarily have a family connection to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. Straight for Equality provides information, resources, and learning sessions that help allies understand their role in supporting and advocating for LGBTQ people, and make sure they have the opportunity to share their strong and powerful voices in support of equality.

It's Parents Day and, if you know PFLAG, you know we'll never stop fighting for LGBTQ people and those who love them. If you're looking for some empowering stories of what love looks like in various forms, check out some of the stories from last year's PFLAG Parent Day at pflag.org/ParentDay. Thank you to everyone who shows up, 24/7/365, to ensure our LGBTQ loved ones are fully allowed to be themselves. 🌈💖

Brown and Kayley Whalen. Watch this episode and many others on-demand on our Straight for Equality Website: https://lnkd.in/gd-J8i2A.

Join us next Thursday for July's PFLAG Academy Online session: "Sharing Your Story to Create Change (GOTV Edition)"! Knowing how to shape and effectively tell our PFLAG stories to create real and lasting change is a skill that separates the talkers from the activists and advocates. And as many of us are trying to encourage friends and families to head to the polls and vote for equality-minded candidates this November, that skill is more important than ever. 🌈🗳️ Register at: https://lnkd.in/gW5g-a-6
