PFLAG


PFLAG is a United States' number one and largest company uniting parents, families, & allies with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, & queer LGBTQ+. PFLAG National is a national organization, which provides help to the PFLAG network of local chapters. PFLAG has over 400 chapters across the United States, with more than 200,000 members and supporters.

PFLAG pronounced is no longer an acronym, but just the name of the organization. Prior to 2014, the acronym stood for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays later broadened to Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Until removal of the hyphen in 1993 the hold was officially styled as P-FLAG. In 2014 the membership of the company voted to officially change the name to PFLAG to reflect the decades of fully inclusive work it had been doing in the LGBTQ+ community.

Campaigns


In the mid-1990s, "Project Open Mind" caused some controversy from Pat Robertson. He threatened to sue PFLAG and any television station that aired the project's ads, which showed clips of anti-LGBT quotes from several people, including Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and United States Senator Jesse Helms. The ads can currently be seen on the Commercial Closet webpage.
