Calling all dads of LGBTQ+ kids! Our PFLAG Connects: Dad Community offers free virtual meetings led by skilled facilitators (many of them dads themselves) who guide attendees in receiving support, giving support, and finding resources to help their loved ones, families, and communities. Every meeting also includes a breakout room especially for dads of transgender and gender-diverse kids of all ages.

“Being part of a support group is deeply therapeutic, incredibly valuable, and important. It helps us understand that we are not alone on this journey—that others are facing similar challenges and that we can learn from their experiences. It also plays a crucial role in educating us about this new reality for those of us who are parents of someone with different preferences. Knowing that a community of parents exists, all seeking support, helps me better understand how to assist other parents " —Member of the PCC: Dad Community

These one-hour meetings take place on the third Tuesday of every month at 8pm ET/5pm PT, with our next meeting scheduled for June 16.

Leaders at PFLAG National have been hard at work championing LGBTQ+ rights. Whether it’s celebrating philanthropic donors who make our work possible, to speaking with executives about LGBTQ+ allyship, or speaking out against harmful anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, PFLAG National is here, leading with love. 🫶🏳️‍🌈

✋Show of hands if you’ve heard this one before: “This isn’t age-appropriate! Let’s just let kids be kids!”

The two falsehoods within this pearl-clutching statement—that talking about LGBTQ+ identities is inherently a conversation about s*x, and that kids exposed to information about LGBTQ+ identities will be “turned gay”—are as pervasive as they are harmful.

➡️There are age-appropriate ways to talk about s*xual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression with children of all ages.

➡️ LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum and conversations about the world should be honest and accurate.

➡️S*xual orientation and gender identity are innate characteristics; nothing that a child sees, hears, watches, or experiences can “cause” them to be LGBTQ+.

What better time to flex one’s LGBTQ+ advocacy than during pride month? 🏳️‍🌈

Fighting For Our Pride is our nationwide campaign focused on taking action at the state and local level, where many of the most harmful policies against LGBTQ+ people are being introduced and passed. Since its launch last fall, the campaign has successfully staved off numerous harmful bills and policies, and won protections for our LGBTQ+ loved ones across the country. Now with state legislative sessions coming to a close, our sights are set on the ballot box and how we can protect LGBTQ+ rights at elections nationwide. 🗳️

This pride month, let’s organize, adapt, and make sure lawmakers hear us loud and clear: attacks on LGBTQ+ people do not reflect our values, our families, or our future.

Celebrate Give OUT Day today, the only national LGBTQ+ Giving Event! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

PFLAG was born from one mother’s love, protest, activism in support of her gay son, in 1973. At a time when few dared to be visible, Jeanne Manford’s love and refusal to back down or hide sparked a movement. That single act of courageous love grew into a nationwide network of more than 350 chapters and over 550,000 members and supporters, united by one, simple, radical idea: That leading with love is critical—and that love takes action.
