Equality

PFLAG seeks a just world in which all people receive understanding and equal acceptance and protection. PFLAG has and will continue to work to change or establish national and state legislation and policies to establish equality and to end discrimination against LGBTQ and other marginalized communities. As bills, resolutions or ordinances are planned or introduced in Congress, states or

municipalities, PFLAG will continue to work with legislative or executive branches of government to advocate for those that will help to end discrimination in all of its forms as a strong path toward equality for all. PFLAG is determined to end abusive or harmful policies, practices and legislation. (Adopted by the PFLAG National Board of Directors on March 16, 2017. Previous iterations of this were titled Legalized Discrimination and were adopted by the PFLAG Board of Directors on September 7, 1992. Revised March 18, 2017.)

I've been reluctant to say this all day, but the schadenfreude I'm seeing over Kristi Noem's husband spending thousands of dollars on his cross-dressing kink... I'm struggling to understand it. Maybe I even question the intent. I don't feel schadenfreude. I don't feel amused. I don't feel the least....

In case you missed it: Last year, PFLAG National SUED President Trump over an executive order that would shut down nationwide access to necessary medical care for transgender people under 19. We then WON a preliminary injunction to stop this executive order from being carried out while litigation commenced. But it's far from over: The government has appealed that decision to the Fourth Circuit, and has also asked the trial court to stay its preliminary injunction…but the trial court has not yet ruled.

PFLAG v. Trump is only one small part of our greater advocacy work—through our nationwide chapter network, we have been actively defending the rights of all LGBTQ+ people at every level of government. 🔥
We need your support to continue staving off these horrific attacks. Help stop the crusade against trans youth and the LGBTQ+ community at large with a donation today at https://pflagnation.al/4boZpTF.

It’s a scary time. And we know that the Texas Supreme Court decision has created additional fear and anxiety for trans people and their loved ones.

We want to be clear: PFLAG National has always been steadfast that we would not turn over our members’ names or identities to the State of Texas. And last week, after two years of litigation, the Texas Supreme Court agreed, making it crystal clear that PFLAG National can continue protecting information about our members’ identities, that the Office of the Attorney General is not above the law, and its actions are subject to meaningful review by the courts.

Even though PFLAG is required to turn over documents that respond to these demands, that does not include information identifying PFLAG members or their families. We have been unwavering in our commitment to protecting our members’ rights to come together without violating their privacy or identities being revealed. PFLAG has always been clear on that point and that has not changed. It never will, and we will never back down.

We’ve got you.
