George Takei, 'Love Victor' Cast Join PFLAG's Parent Day 2022
Love, Victor.The theme will be "Lead Like Jeanne," in honor of PFLAG founder Jeanne Manford, who wrote a letter of support for her gay son during a rise in LGBTQ+ demonstrations exactly 50 years ago.“It took an enormous amount of courage to be openly LGBTQ+ fifty years ago, and it took chutzpah to be an LGBTQ+ affirming parent and school teacher then, too," Brian K.
Bond, Executive Director of PFLAG National, said in a statment. "But Jeanne Manford showed us not only that LGBTQ+ allies can speak up and speak out, but that we should.
In a year when officials from the State House to the school board have criminalized parents of LGBTQ+ people, PFLAG National is proud to celebrate the parents and caregivers who lead like Jeanne did.
We hope everyone who loves an LGBTQ+ person can join us for inspiration, courage and a good dose of chutzpah on May 22nd for PFLAG Parent Day,”The event will feature stories from LGBTQ+ folks, parents, and allies as well as celebrity appearances.
