How PFLAG is changing hearts as the Supreme Court considers conversion therapy bans
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/news/conversion-therapy-pflag-changes-minds
Today is our 50th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by attending a #pride festival in Westminster, #Maryland.
It was great meeting our #pflag, #glsen and #ucc kindred. So much community.
Another criticism of #PFLAG local chapters is there are not a lot of #LGBTQIA folk. Of course, that's not their mission or historical membership. P and F are allies, and even though the group doesn't spell out their name any longer, it really still at its root a parents and friends group.
This is just preliminary stage, but look for organizational meeting info in the future if this goes forward.
Some folks are thinking of re-starting or reviving the #Denton #PFLAG chapter. I know there was a local chapter when we came to Denton, but it seems to have fizzled out. I've been trying to find out online what criticisms people have of the national and local chapters, and other than conservative criticism, the only real criticism I have seen online is that their local chapter is dying or that it's all old people (Gen-X and up). We are Gen-X and younger boomers.
Awwww. This animated short is lovely. #HappyPrideMonth 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🎈, everyone! #L_G_B_T_Q_I_APlus #Pflag
It's about acceptance of all diversities of people, inclusion and self esteem building.

#Arizona #TwoSpirit #Powwow empowers community amid growing #AntiTrans legislation
Tuesday, March 4, 2025
By Brandelyn Clark
"The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow returned to #PhoenixArizona on Saturday, February 22, to spotlight Indigenous #LGBTQ+ and two-spirit people for a day of cultural celebration and community.
"Hosted at South Mountain Community College, the event welcomed dancers, drum groups and attendees from across the region. More than just a traditional gathering, the powwow allowed two-spirit individuals to celebrate their identities and honor their place in Indigenous culture.
“'This (powwow) is a perfect example of a #SafeSpace for people to come and dance in whatever category they want to dance in, dress the way that they feel good about themselves, love who they want to love, and they are safe here. This tells the community we are here, we are here for you,' Sheila Lopez said.
"Lopez is the founder of Arizona’s first Two Spirit Powwow and the first Native chapter of #PFLAG, which bills itself as the country’s largest advocacy organization that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.
"President Donald Trump’s recent executive actions have left #transgender and two-spirit communities uncertain about their rights and recognition going forward.
"'It is super important right now with the administration, what they’re doing to pretty much wipe away trans people. It’s super critical right now for us to continue to show up in the community, to say we’re here, we’re not going anywhere and you can’t erase us, period,' Lopez said."

We were at a PFLAG event today, and one of our members got this hoodie a few days ago. I love this.
