Peterson Toscano, a native of Stamford, underwent conversion therapy. His experience, written in a statement, was read by Donna Warren, an LGBTQ advocate and PFLAG mother. Warren joined PFLAG, an LGBTQ advocacy group, after her son transitioned 20 years ago, which was "the best thing he could've done," Warren said.
PFLAG is the first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, their parents and families, and allies.
