Ten years ago, 49 people went out dancing on Latin Night at Pulse in Orlando. Most were young. Most were Latino. Most were q***r. They did not come home.

A decade later, the grief has not gone anywhere, and neither have we.

We hold the 49, the 53 who were wounded, and everyone who has felt less safe on a dance floor since. Share this to remember with us. Tell someone you love them. We are not going to forget.

She fought at Stonewall. She co-founded STAR to house homeless trans youth on the streets of New York. Then the movement she helped build tried to push her off the stage, and she pushed back. 🏳️‍⚧️

Sylvia Rivera (1951–2002) was a Puerto Rican and Venezuelan trans activist who built a movement for the people the gay rights mainstream wanted to forget: the homeless, the poor, trans women of color living on the streets.

Her refusal to be sidelined didn’t make her popular. At the 1973 NYC Pride rally, organizers kept her from speaking. She took the stage anyway.

The movement still debates who gets to be in it. Rivera made sure that question couldn’t be avoided.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: The FCC is considering content warnings for trans people on TV. Not for violence. Not for explicit scenes. Just for being trans on screen.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr opened a formal inquiry asking whether shows with trans or nonbinary characters should carry stronger parental advisories. This was pushed by conservative advocacy groups, despite the FCC receiving very few public complaints about the current ratings system.

Here’s the real risk: networks don’t need a law to act. If they think including trans characters could trigger a warning label, many will quietly stop. Not because they have to, but because it’s easier than the fight.

For q***r kids at home, seeing someone who looks like them on TV isn’t a warning. It’s a lifeline. 🏳️‍⚧️

The FCC is accepting public comments right now. Take action today at the link in our bio.

SFUSD Superintendent Maria Su (she/her) has been called to testify before a federal hearing that is characterizing LGBTQ-inclusive education as “abuses” and “inappropriate content.” San Francisco was named alongside Chicago and Loudoun County, Virginia.

So what are the actual “abuses” Congress is describing?

- Students being addressed by the name and pronouns they use.
- LGBTQ kids being protected from bullying.
- Kids seeing families like theirs in books.

That is what a federal hearing was convened to call inappropriate.

PFLAG San Francisco stands with Superintendent Su, with SFUSD, and with every student who deserves to walk into school feeling safe and seen. 🏳️‍🌈

We’re showing up. Join us at the Board of Education rally on June 9 at 6 PM, 555 Franklin St.

Send this to someone who needs to know what’s at stake.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: A bill moving through Congress right now would strip federal funding from schools for acknowledging that trans students exist.

H.R. 2616 would affect:
• Books featuring trans characters in school libraries
• Teachers who use a student’s correct name and pronouns
• Any classroom conversation about gender identity
Advocates also warn the bill could force schools to out trans students to their parents without their consent.

This passed the House. The Senate is next.

Take action today — contact your U.S. Senator and tell them to vote NO on H.R. 2616.

In Sandy’s home growing up, it wasn’t about what was said about LGBTQ+ topics. It was about what wasn’t. 💙

Sandy (she/her), PFLAG SF board member and daughter of South Asian immigrants, grew up in a household where certain things simply weren’t discussed. Not out of disapproval, but out of unfamiliarity. It wasn’t until college, watching her q***r and trans friends in Virginia navigate their own silence, that she understood what was actually at stake.

Silence in families often isn’t about hate. It’s about lack of exposure, lack of knowledge. But for the person living inside that silence, it can feel like they don’t belong.

This AANHPI Heritage Month, Sandy is speaking up: for the chosen family that creates belonging, and for every South Asian and first-generation LGBTQ+ community member who deserves to feel seen. 🏳️‍🌈

No one should navigate this alone. Join us every 2nd Tuesday, 7–9 PM PT.

Six q***r AANHPI films worth watching this May. 🎬

Swipe through for picks that span 40 years of filmmaking — from Ang Lee’s 1993 masterpiece to a 2024 rom-com that lets a q***r South Asian story breathe without tragedy.

The films on our list center Asian American, South Asian, Filipina, and Pakistani-British LGBTQ+ stories. Not as subplots. As the whole thing.

Because when our loved ones see themselves on screen — fully, specifically, without apology — it changes something.

Which of these have you seen? Drop it below. 👇 And find more resources at the link in our bio.

Harvey Milk believed every young person deserves a place where they can be fully themselves. That conviction didn’t end in 1978.

We carry his words into everything we do: “All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” 🏳️‍🌈
