PFLAG’s network of over 360 chapters and more than 550,000 members and supporters are helping create an equitable and inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved.
PFLAG is the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. PFLAG Buena Vista/Ark Valley promises to provide these actions at a local level.
Before PFLAG’s first meeting in New York City on March 11, 1973, founder Jeanne Manford marched by the side of her gay son, Morty Manford—an accomplished activist and leader —at the 1972 Christopher Street Liberation Day March (the precursor to New York Pride), held on June 25, 1972. Weeks before, on April 29, 1972, Jeanne’s letter to the editor in defense of her son to advocate for rights for LGBTQ+ people was published in the New York Post. That letter launched a movement. Together, Jeanne and Morty made plans to start an organization for LGBTQ+ people and their parents. It’s what we now know as PFLAG.
