Dear John, When PFLAG parents, families, allies -- and you -- show up in full force, powered by love for our LGBTQ+ loved ones, we get things done. This Valentine’s Day, donate to PFLAG National and help build on the momentum of our success fighting anti-LGBTQ+ bills across the country -- success built on the power of PFLAG love. PFLAGers like Jennifer Solomon showed the entire country the power of PFLAG love after her home state of Florida introduced a bill that would ban necessary medical care for transgender youth -- including her son. She called PFLAG National for help to prepare, our team mobilized to provide advice and support, and Jennifer’s passionate testimony in concert with that of other loving advocates helped drown out the rhetoric of anti-LGBTQ+ extremists, defeating the bill! We know these anti-trans bills can be defeated when PFLAG moms, dads, parents, guardians, family members, and allies come together and fight back -- because our love is louder. Make a loving Valentine’s Day gift to PFLAG National today, and help us continue the work PFLAG is doing across the country in states like: - Pennsylvania, where PFLAG National staff joined with PFLAG Chapter Network leaders to advocate for a “conversion therapy” ban to the state legislature;
- Virginia, where PFLAG Chapter Network leaders, supported by PFLAG National staff, successfully passed a bill prohibiting health insurance companies from denying coverage on the basis of gender identity or transgender status; and
- South Carolina, where PFLAG National’s Advocacy and Chapter Engagement teams are working with PFLAG Spartansburg and other chapters on the ground in the coalition to stop two bills -- one preventing transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming medical treatment and another that discriminates against transgender athletes.
In these extremely dangerous times for our trans loved ones, PFLAG National’s expert staff and life-saving resources are helping local advocates across the country as they work tirelessly to ensure these anti-LGBTQ+ bills never come up for consideration again. Please, take a moment to affirm your commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ youth and families everywhere by making a gift to PFLAG National today. Time and time again, the fierce love of PFLAG parents has changed the world in powerful ways. Your support is the key to unlock that power -- and we thank you for all that you do to help achieve these wins, every day. Sincerely,  Brian K. Bond
