“As a person living with HIV who is able to get healthcare, this bill is mortifying and will cost lives. It will burden our healthcare system. It’s mean-spirited, short-sighted, politically motivated, and is government malpractice," said Brian K. Bond, CEO of PFLAG National.
“PFLAG parents are good and decent people who love their trans kids and want them to grow up to become thriving, happy, healthy adults. Yet, President Trump and other politicians maliciously harm our families by denying them access to physician-prescribed, medically recommended care. This order puts trans and nonbinary young people and their families at risk—and we’re not putting up with it,” said Brian K. Bond (he/him), chief executive officer of PFLAG National.
President Biden, our service members both deserve a significant raise in pay and to maintain their parental rights to get the healthcare their children need and deserve. We can and need to do both, and I, along with hundreds of thousands of PFLAG families across this nation, urge you to veto this NDAA and send it back to Congress to ensure our military does not harbor discrimination of any kind.
“PFLAG is honored to partner with Vet Voice Foundation and proud veterans like Branden, because you didn’t serve for your families to not be free,” said Brian K. Bond, (he/him), CEO of PFLAG National.
The mother of a gender-diverse adult child, Dr. Edith Guffey had a distinguished career spanning nearly 30 years with the United Church of Christ and now leads the 22-member PFLAG National Board of Directors. Additional officers include Regional Directors Council Chair and Board Co-Vice Chair Chad Reumann, new board member and Co-Vice Chair Sarah EchoHawk, Secretary Antón Castellanos-Usigli, and Treasurer Chad Libertus.
PFLAG National and more than 40 chapters join more than 200 organizations committed to advancing LGBTQIA2S+ freedom beyond the 2024 elections in a shared statement of collective unity and power.
PFLAG is not backing down from this fight. For over five decades, PFLAG has been leading with love to overcome dark efforts. We are uniquely able to meet this moment, to soften hearts, to change minds, and to support our LGBTQ+ community.
