Transgender Resources
The Ultimate LGBTQ+ History and Culture Extravaganza: Recording & Training Toolkit
Stonewall. Rainbow flags. Pink triangles. Lavender lambdas. Pink, blue, and white banners. Pride parades. Disco. Fire Island, WeHo, and Dupont Circle. Harvey, Audre, Marsha, Sylvester, and even Gaga. PFLAG and ACT UP. What does it all mean? And why is it important for us to know and preserve? This June, join PFLAG National to learn more about LGBTQ+ history and culture in the US!
One of our key goals is to help you take the information that you learned in this session and use it to make your chapter stronger and more effective. To do that, we’ve created this page to provide you with tools, resources, and references to materials mentioned in the workshop. As always, the PFLAG National staff is here to help. If you have any questions, comments, or just need some good advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
