PFLAG National, the first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, their parents, families and allies, announced Wednesday its partnership with Have A Gay Day, a non-profit LGBTQ+ organization based in Dayton, Ohio, on a nationwide digital billboard campaign.
The campaign, launched in advance of Transgender Day of Visibility — Thursday, March 31, 2022, includes billboards displaying messages of support, hope and encouragement for the LGBTQ+ community, centered on transgender and nonbinary youth and their families. “At a time when we are seeing hundreds of bills targeting trans youth and their families, PFLAG National is proud to partner with Have A Gay Day to elevate messages of love, joy, and support,” said Brian K.
Bond, Executive Director of PFLAG National. “Families in states across the country are seeing their kids attacked—from anti-trans legislation in dozens of states to yesterday’s signing into law of the harmful ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill in Florida.
LGBTQ+ kids, especially trans and nonbinary kids, and their families are being hit hard, and we need to show up for them. For nearly 50 years, PFLAG has been leading with love, and the minute we saw the work that was being done by Have A Gay Day, we knew we wanted not only to support it, but to broadly expand the reach and visibility.
