Hi John, During times of crisis, LGBTQ+ people and their families depend on PFLAG National -- and right now, we’re living in these times. A record-number 160+ anti-LGBTQ+ policy bills have been proposed in numerous states – many blocking access to gender-affirming medical care, banning LGBTQ+ books from schools and libraries, and others banning even the mere discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in classrooms. The purpose of these anti-LGBTQ+ efforts is to censor, silence, and erase the LGBTQ+ people we love. Help us fight back with a donation during LGBTQ+ History Month -- your gift will be matched by our friends at Chevrolet, up to a total of $25,000. PFLAG National has spent the past nearly 50 years fighting in solidarity for an equitable, just, and inclusive world. Our roots are firmly planted in a call to action from the mother of a gay son, who voiced loud and clear that government efforts to harm LGBTQ+ people were wrong, and that parents and allies must commit to playing a strong role in this fight for justice and equity. This simple truth has guided PFLAG’s work: We lead with love, whether that means meeting people where they are in heart-softening, mind-changing conversations—or leading efforts in the streets, in state houses, and all the way to the ballot box. Help us continue to lead with love and fight back against injustice with a gift of any amount to PFLAG National -- because LGBTQ+ history matters. Remember, every gift will be doubled during the month of October. In the meantime, please share our many LGBTQ+ History Month resources – you likely know a person or family who needs PFLAG. In solidarity, Brian K. Bond (he/him) Executive Director, PFLAG National |
