“It was one of the most meaningful days in our 35 years together.”

We’ve both had a lot of troubles, but coming together in 2018 marked the beginning of change for us.

“It’s tremendously gratifying to be able to speak to the medical professionals and the clinic personnel, but particularly to the youth and their families.”

Too many LGBTQ+ individuals live in fear of rejection, ridicule, or fear for their own safety at home. I’ve seen PFLAG change that for so many.

Since the Pride parade was cancelled, I wanted to show my rainbow colors.

We went to protest Trump! 

“I was totally in tears to see this show of support to the LGBTQ community, put together with such loving care. I knew then that in the end we were going to be ok.”

“It was so lovely to bump into them and be swept up in the excitement of the day!”

We decided to quarantine, get tested, then go to Provincetown together. Since we missed Pride, we made shirts, each with a different color of the rainbow.

“Pride Month is a celebration of our progress, our journey. It’s an affirmation of our equality and humanity.”

“On that day the crowd could see that I was a proud mom who loved her four gay kids.”

It’s one thing to be in a parade, but to see so many diverse people waving and cheering as you go by fills me with so much Pride and hope!

An organization for at-risk youth shows support for LGBTQ young people in need.

After gaining asylum, this person is now a citizen and has a husband and an amazing future ahead of him. He is one of my pride and joys!

This was the first pride event I attended as an openly bisexual woman!

“The city was colorful, welcoming and super friendly. It was one of the most amazing experiences.”

“I want everyone to experience the joy I felt when my mom held my hand in that march. I want everyone to feel like they belong.”

After Trump’s inauguration, 10,000 people in Sarasota marched across the bridge for women’s rights, gay rights, and human rights.

She was proud to be able to ride in the parade during her lifetime.

It was the days of the AIDS Plague and Rotten Ronny Reagan’s tyranny.
