In 1972, Jeanne Manford walked the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade with her son Morty and a handmade sign: 'Parents of Gays: Unite.' Letters came from everywhere. PFLAG was the direct result. She lived to see marriage equality. Eight words. One movement. The love that got there first.

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.

#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."

In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."

#PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.
