Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads and fathering people! 🫶💐

A father’s love and support has a major impact on those in the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you’re an LGBTQ+ dad, an ally dad, a chosen dad, a supportive granddad, a trans dad, a gender nonconforming dad, or any other kind of father figure, we celebrate you and are PFLAG proud of you. 🏳️‍🌈

On this day in 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to ensure that all enslaved people be freed, as declared by the Emancipation Proclamation signed a full two and a half years prior. Known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and most commonly referred to as Juneteenth, this anniversary is cause for celebration as well as reflection.

The history of the United States is one riddled with battles for freedom, justice, and equality. Our African American loved ones, including and especially those who are LGBTQ+, still fight discrimination due to their marginalized identities.

Our PFLAG Connects: Black/African American Community offers virtual meetings for parents, family members, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are Black or African American. To those seeking connection and understanding, visit pflag.org/connects/communities/black

PFLAG National is closed today to celebrate and honor Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚💛

Come join us at the The Better Together Project's Pride parade tomorrow in downtown Grayslake!

Thank you, PFLAG of Grayslake/Round Lake, for sponsoring the Sixth Annual Grayslake Pride Parade!

"In 1972, PFLAG founder Jeanne Manford marched in a Pride parade to support her gay son Morty, sparking a nationwide movement of allies. Today, carrying on that legacy, PFLAG Grayslake/Round Lake is proud to be a continuing sponsor of The Better Together Project Grayslake Pride parade! We fight for our Pride every day through support, community events, education, and legislative advocacy to create a caring, affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. We offer free peer support groups on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at the LGBTQ+ Center of Lake County. Open to LGBTQ+ individuals, parents, families, and allies. Come as you are. You are not alone! Let’s keep leading with love to make Lake County a place where everyone is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved!"

On June 12, 2016, 49 lives were taken at Pulse Nightclub. 🕯️🏳️‍🌈 With hateful anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric at an all-time high, remember that PFLAG will never stop fighting for all LGBTQ+ people to be safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. This year, we honor them with action at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure LGBTQ+ people are safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved.
