Dear John,

I’m Jeff Walker, vice president of PFLAG Auburn in Alabama, and the proud PFLAG dad of my 16-year-old daughter, Harleigh.

When Harleigh came out as trans, my wife and I began a journey that led us to PFLAG, where we found a community of families just like ours. My family needed support — and PFLAG showed up. 

Please show up with a gift to PFLAG National today so families like mine get the support and resources they need to love and affirm their LGBTQ+ children — and help them thrive

Thanks to PFLAG National, Harleigh and I have learned how to tell our family story and advocate to lawmakers on the importance of legislation that provides access to medically necessary health care. 

In sharing our story, Harleigh and I have met with members of Congress and the White House, and spoke with major media like USA Today and BBC News. I am so proud of Harleigh: she is the youngest person ever to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee!

We’re especially proud of our recent interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Thanks to the support of PFLAG National, we had an opportunity to address meaningful and caring questions about our life as a family — and Harleigh got to meet her idol, Laverne Cox — on a groundbreaking full-hour, transgender-focused episode of this daytime talk show. 

Every step of the way, PFLAG National showed up: securing interviews, preparing us for each conversation, and always having our backs when negative backlash on social media appeared. 

Today, Harleigh is a thriving teenager. She just got her driver’s license, enjoys being on the debate team, and had a blast at a Taylor Swift concert. I couldn’t be more proud of her. 

Throughout our journey, PFLAG National has been our rock. Your gift to PFLAG National will ensure families like ours can help our incredible LGBTQ+ kids reach their highest potential

I’m grateful to share my family’s story with you — your support truly makes a difference. 

 

Gratefully,

Jeff Walker (he/him)
Proud PFLAG Dad
