PFLAG Connects

Dear John:

ICYMI, our exciting new partnership with Oreo continued this weekend, with electronic signs lining the Pride march routes in New York City and San Francisco. We have lots of ways to connect this week, through our pillars of Support, Education, and Advocacy; check them out below! 

Prayers for Bobby on Lifetime

Support

Prayers for Bobby gets a special Pride re-airing TONIGHT on Lifetime 

People around the world have watched Prayers for Bobby, and it has led them to PFLAG for support, time and time again. Now, the film is getting a special re-airing for Pride, tonight, on Lifetime. If you've never seen the film--or even if you have but haven't recently--it's worth another viewing.

Starring Sigourney Weaver, Prayers for Bobby is the amazing true story of PFLAG mom Mary Griffith, and her journey of being torn between her loyalties, challenged by her faith, and moved by a tragedy that would change her life, and the lives of others, forever.

Support the Equality Act

Advocacy

The Equality Act: Tell us what it means to you and your family

The Equality Act would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to protect LGBTQ+ people, too. Without the Equality Act, LGBTQ+ people are not protected from discrimination in housing, education, health care, banking, voting, access to public spaces, adoption, and much more. 

Share your story now about how discrimination has affected you and your family; your personal stories are what will change not only hearts and minds...but will help PASS this crucial piece of legislation!
