June is Pride Month!Let’s be clear about what it means to “Love with Pride”. Love can be soft, kind, tender—and it can also be loud, unapologetic, and fierce. Over fifty years ago, Jeanne Manford marched with her gay son, Morty, to demonstrate the power and courage of a mother’s love in the face of relentless discrimination. 350+ chapters and 550,000+ members later, we are still in the fight, leading with love, for an equitable and accepting future. This year—as every year, as every month, as every day—it is imperative that we show up for our LGBTQ+ loved ones. Whether it’s marching in a protest, shutting down discriminatory remarks from coworkers, educating a family member, or even just expressing your love to your LGBTQ+ loved one, every action you take for our LGBTQ+ community is an action against LGBTQ+ oppression. Now is the time to LEAD WITH LOVE. Let’s come together as a collective power and fight for our LGBTQ+ loved ones. -PFLAG National 06/02/2025
