"Every parent dreads that telephone call in the middle of the night.  Our lives were changed forever by that call; we awakened to the realities of intolerance.  We will not give up until every family can avoid getting that late-night phone call.  And that's why PFLAG is so important - because, together, we are working toward a safer world."   - Judy Shepard, mother of hate crime victim, Matthew Shepard

We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.  Only with respect, dignity and equality for all will we reach our full potential as human beings, individually and collectively.  PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of all who share in, and hope to realize this vision. "We must encourage acceptance, we must advocate for safety, we must speak out against hate, and we must do it now"     -Nancy McDonald, Former PFLAG National President
