One person was killed and at least 17 others were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd near Berlin Pride today, bringing what should have been a joyful celebration to a heartbreaking end. Authorities are continuing to investigate the attack.

Lots of love and solidarity to our LGBTQ+ siblings in Berlin.

This is why we still have Pride.

Because being able to gather openly, celebrate who you are, and exist without fear is not something everyone can take for granted.

Pride is joy.
Pride is community.
Pride is resilience.
Pride is resistance.

Today, we’re holding the people of Berlin close in our hearts. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

It’s International Drag Day!!! 🌈✨💗 Going above and beyond the gender binary, this centuries-old art form is a powerful and provocative display of LGBTQ+ expression. Legends and icons of drag herstory—William Dorsey Swann, Marsha P Johnson, Willi Ninja, Paris Dupree, Dorian Corey, Divine, Crystal LaBeija, RuPaul, just to name a few—not only cultivated and expanded the medium to glamorous new heights, but also pushed the needle for greater acceptance for all LGBTQ+ people. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Who are your fav drag performers? Shout ‘em out in the comments below! 👇

A mother’s love is an unstoppable force. 🔥 On this day, Jeanne Manford and her son Morty took to the streets at the 1972 Christopher Street Liberation Day March with a message of love, unity, and defiance that shocked and rallied the nation: Mothers and fathers in support of g**s.

Love, protection, solidarity—these are the sparks that ignited and fuel our organization. Today and every day, we celebrate our founder’s incredible legacy, and channel her powerful mission to Lead with Love.

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. ❤️🖤💚💛

Today is Autistic Pride Day ❤️

Bella Ramsey spoke about their autism diagnosis in an April 2025 interview with British Vogue. The actor said: “The label of being autistic has been so helpful to me because that’s helped me to understand myself, but gender and sexuality-wise, labels do not feel comfy for me in any capacity, because I feel like I’m putting myself into a box. I feel trapped.”
