On October 11, 1998, WZZM TV13 broadcasting throughout the greater Grand Rapids area did a story on National Coming Out Day and how it affects not only our gay loved ones, but the rest of the family as well. This is only one example of how PFLAG is helping to "spread the word" about our gay loved ones and the challenges they face.
At meetings you can learn other ways to advocate your loved ones, such as wearing a PFLAG pin on your jacket, being open about current gay and lesbian issues, or "coming out" yourself and celebrating your gay loved ones both at work and in your family.
PFLAG members advocate our gay loved ones!
Just a few other organizations that advocate gays, lesbians, and bisexuals:
- The Human Rights Campaign strives for equal rights in the US and other countries: www.hrc.org
- GLSEN The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to make schools safe for GLBT youth: www.glsen.org
- NGLTF The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is a leading progressive civil rights organization that has supported grassroots organizing and advocacy since 1973: www.ngltf.org
- GLAAD The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation seeks to guard GLBT people from misrepresentation and defamation in the media: www.glaad.org
