| Dear John: PFLAG National offices are closed today, as we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. In case you missed it, last Friday President Biden became the first president to honor this important day, when we "...celebrate the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, recognize their inherent sovereignty, and commit to honoring the Federal Government’s trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations." Read the full proclamation on the White House website. |

| | Support National Coming Out Day Today is National Coming Out Day. For many, it's a celebration of sharing their authentic and beautiful identity, with themselves and their loved ones. For others, it's a day to celebrate their LGBTQ+ loved ones and create safe space for them to share that personal news. Coming out is a personal decision, and the only one who can or should make the choice to come out is the person whose information it is to share. PFLAG is here for LGBTQ+ people, and for parents and families, offering support to everyone on how to make the coming-out experience safe, secure, and special. Visit pflag.org/comingout for a wide variety of coming-out resources. Not finding the help you need? Contact us and we'll help you find what you're looking for. |
