“This work is deeply personal to me as a queer Muslim who found affirmation and community in spaces like the ones PFLAG creates. I am honored to join PFLAG National at this pivotal time." - Sultan Shakir, (he/him/his), COO of PFLAG National
“Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is a heartbreaking one for LGBTQ+ students, families and employees of Montgomery County Public Schools. However, this ruling does not erase what PFLAG parents, students and educators have long known, and a vast body of research supports: All students benefit from a school climate that promotes inclusion, acceptance, and respect,” said Brian K. Bond (he/him/his), CEO of PFLAG National.
"Today’s shameful 6-3 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is a cruel blow to doctors, transgender youth, and the loving parents of trans kids. Transgender people of all ages, like all people, deserve the healthcare they need when they need it, without barriers of discrimination," said Brian K. Bond (he/him/his), CEO of PFLAG National
“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.
