“PFLAG is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. PFLAG is there for every parent seeking to affirm their LGBTQ+ child, every LGBTQ+ person needing support, and every ally looking for more ways to educate themselves on issues that affect the LBGTQ+ community.”
— Suzanne Manford Swan, PFLAG founder Jeanne Manford’s daughter
