When Jeanne Manford marched alongside her son Morty in the 1972 Christopher Street Liberation Day March with a sign that said, "Parents of G**s: Unite in Support for our Children," she could not have predicted what was to come:

Co-founding Parents of G**s, the predecessor to PFLAG, to help parents learn to embrace their children's sexual orientation. Being named a grand marshal of both the LGBT Pride Parade in Manhattan in 1991 and the first Queens pride parade in 1993. Posthumously receiving the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal. A plaque on a church commemorating the location of the first PFLAG meeting. A street in Flushing, Queens, named after her, her husband, and her son.

When Jeanne bravely marched with Morty, she had no idea she would spearhead an organization that's still going strong 53 years later with over 350 chapters and more than 550,000 members and supporters. What she knew was that she loved her son and felt in her heart that parents should not be ashamed to publicly support their gay children.

None of us can predict the future or what the history books may say about us, but we can look for opportunities to be brave. We can speak out against injustice and fight for what we feel in our hearts is right.

Whether our actions help one person feel seen or start a movement that impacts many, we can lead with love like Jeanne and see where it takes us. 🩷

For 15 years, Make the Road New York's New York’s Trans Immigrant Project (TrIP) members have led a TransLatinx March to highlight the struggles, needs, and joy of trans experiences and existence. Every march, y cada paso que damos, celebrates the roots of Indigenous, Black, and Latine heritage, while honoring the resilience and diverse richness of the trans and q***r migrant community.

PFLAG NYC was honored to join this year’s march, where they and hundreds of trans community members and allies took to the streets of Jackson Heights to demand an end to employment discrimination and violence against trans people, access to health services, protections for trans immigrants, and more.

PFLAG NYC and Make the Road NY share a commitment to ensuring that our TGNCIQ+ (Trans, Gender Non-Conforming, Intersex, & Q***r) community members can gather and access resources in warm, safe, and supportive environments.

Make the Road NY offers regular political education and skills trainings on topics ranging from healthcare access to Know Your Rights for immigrants. Their staff, which includes TGNCIQ people of color from the community, works one-on-one with members to provide emotional support and goal-oriented coaching.

PFLAG NYC hosts a variety of free, virtual support groups for LGBTQ+ people and their parents and other loved ones, including their El Amor Hace la Familia group, which primarily uses Spanish. They also have Spanish resources and can provide Spanish interpretation for events and programs by request.

Both organizations are grateful to serve this vital intersection of the LGBTQ+ community and wish you a happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

It's Banned Books Week 2026, and a variety of books—especially books with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC subject matter and authors—continue to be systematically removed from libraries around the country.

Book bans aim to censor and erase people's stories, identities, and experiences. Banning books does not protect children—rather, it curtails their rights and limits their freedom.

At PFLAG NYC, we know how much books enrich the lives of everyone who enjoys them! That's why each of our staff members chose a favorite banned book and shared why it's meaningful to them for this post.

We'd love to hear about some of your favorite banned books in the comments so we can expand our TBR shelves! 📚 ⬇️

It's been so joyful being back in classrooms with our Safe Schools Program since the new school year started, and we're excited to train more volunteers to join us!

We're seeking parents and family members of LGBTQ+ people who want to share how and why they support their LGBTQ+ loved ones. We also need LGBTQ+ folks who are excited to speak about their own journeys of self-acceptance.

We have two in-person trainings at the PFLAG NYC office scheduled for October to teach you how to communicate your personal stories to make a difference for kids at NYC schools:

🍎 Monday, 10/5, 3:00–5:00 p.m.
🍎 Thursday, 10/15, 6:30–8:30 p.m

To register for a training, please complete the Safe Schools Program volunteer intake form on our website: https://www.pflagnyc.org/volunteering/. We're also available to provide one-on-one trainings to accommodate your schedule if needed.

If you have questions about volunteering or if you're interested in having our Safe Schools Program come to your school, reach out to [email protected].

It's Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and our hearts go out to everyone in the LGBTQ+ community who's been impacted by su***de. ❤️‍🩹

LGBTQ+ people experience higher rates of suicidal thoughts and actions compared to the general population. However, there are steps we can all take—allies especially—to look out for one another, improve mental health outcomes, and lower su***de risk.

If you're struggling, you're not alone. At PFLAG NYC, we offer a confidential helpline as well as free support groups, including our Loved and Lost: LGBTQ+ Su***de Bereavement Circle for those who've lost someone to su***de. You can also reach out to your local AFSP chapter for su***de prevention events, programs, and resources (check out American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - New York City Chapter if you're in New York City).

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day to all the beautiful bi folks!

This year, we asked our bisexual community members to share with us what being bisexual means to them. We've included some of the answers we received in this post, and we would love to hear from more community members in the comments.

We could never forget the abundant, expansive "B" in LGBTQ+, and we appreciate the richness and binary breaking that bisexuals bring to our lives. We wish you all a VERY bisexual day, gaymen!

🩷💜💙

PFLAG NYC’s statement regarding today’s announcement that NYU Langone Hospitals is the latest hospital system to settle with the DOJ:

We are disappointed to learn that NYU Langone Hospitals has joined Mount Sinai Health System in cooperating and settling with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding providing gender-affirming care for minors. While NYU Langone had already acquiesced to the Trump administration this past March by discontinuing their Transgender Youth Health Program—a cowardly decision that we publicly condemned—that doesn’t make today’s announcement any less devastating for families trying to ensure their kids can get the medical care they need.

We are standing with New Yorkers of all ages who depend on this care to survive and thrive. We share your anger and sadness, and we will not stop fighting. If you’d benefit from a nonjudgmental space to talk about what’s been happening, we encourage you to attend one of our free support groups for trans folks and their loved ones. We also have resources for continuity of care, so please reach out if we can be of service in that area.

Lastly, we call on leaders in New York City and State to take action to protect and support the community members affected by Mount Sinai and NYU Langone’s shameful settlements. We must do more to collectively fight this federal overreach and keep New York a place of sanctuary for transgender youth and adults.
