PFLAG National
PFLAG is an organization of LGBTQ+ people, parents, families, and allies who work together to create an equitable and inclusive world. We are hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of chapters from coast to coast who are leading with love to support families, educate allies, and advocate for just, equitable, and inclusive legislation and policies. Since our founding in 1973, PFLAG works every day to ensure LGBTQ+ people everywhere are safe, celebrated, empowered and loved. Straight for Equality is an outreach and education program created in 2007 by PFLAG National to empower new allies who, unlike a more traditional PFLAG member, don’t necessarily have a family connection to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. Straight for Equality provides information, resources, and learning sessions that help allies understand their role in supporting and advocating for LGBTQ people, and make sure they have the opportunity to share their strong and powerful voices in support of equality.www.pflag.org

Aidan WhartonGUEST
And his whole process around his advocacy started because he's like, I would go to these sort of PFLAG chapters, these trans talks, and it would all be about suicide.
Aidan WhartonGUEST
And it would all be about parents.
Aidan WhartonGUEST

Becky JorgensenGUEST
It was a fear.
Becky JorgensenGUEST
My mom ran a hotline for seven years, and these dads would call up, oh, my kid's gay, blah, blah, blah.
Guthrie Graves-FitzsimmonsGUEST
So, um, I'd invite her to get to know somebody, uh, who is married to someone of the same sex, to hear their story, um, and especially to see that faith, that actually half of LGBTQ people in this country are people of faith.
Guthrie Graves-FitzsimmonsGUEST
And so the story's often religio- God versus gays, um, and so my own life is a testament against that, and then so many LGBTQ people and the hist- I remember the, um, PFLAG.
Guthrie Graves-FitzsimmonsGUEST
When I was in New York, I was in the Village walking by a Methodist church, and I saw this plaque on the side of the church that said, "This is the first place PFLAG met," which is parents and friends of LGBTQ people.
Guthrie Graves-FitzsimmonsGUEST
The first meeting they had was in a church in the Village, and I was like, wow, the story of religion and LGBTQ people is everywhere if you look for it.
Guthrie Graves-FitzsimmonsGUEST
Uh, but I don't wanna argue with her, 'cause that's the last thing...
