Ally Tips for When You Make a Mistake

Whether you used the wrong pronouns by accident or used an outdated term, how you handle it can show your LGBTQ+ friend, loved one, or colleague that you care.
Here's our advice on what to do next:
Step 1. Acknowledge your mistake.
Step 2. Apologize* and correct yourself.
Step 3. Commit to doing better.
Step 4. Move on.
*If someone lets you know they don’t need or want an apology when you make a mistake, believe them. Don’t linger on it—just be sure to put in the work to do better.

Giving Tuesday is Next Week!

Tuesday, December 3rd is Giving Tuesday—the largest day of global online charitable giving!

For over five decades, PFLAG has been leading with love and advocating for just laws for LGBTQ+ people and families. We will continue to fight for legislation that ensures everyone has the freedom to thrive—and we will fight to block efforts intended to harm our loved ones, neighbors, colleagues, and communities.

Please remember PFLAG National in your Giving Tuesday plans this year and give toward our goal of $25,000 for LGBTQ+ people and their families.

Leading With Love & Gratitude

From all of us at PFLAG National, we're grateful for you! 

As we gather together with friends and family, let us also honor the history of Thanksgiving, reflecting upon and respecting the stories and perspectives of indigenous peoples and communities.

May your celebrations be rooted in appreciation, empathy, and a commitment to continued learning with love.
