PFLAG Burbank

There will be no general meetup this month but we will be out and about at different events around the city. As always our National PFLAG site has resources available at https://pflag.org/. Please contact us if you would like to be added to our mailing list.

June is Pride Month and here are dates for some local events happening around our area.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: The Senate is starting debate on a dangerous voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. We must act NOW to stop this attack.

The so-called “SAVE” Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast their votes—especially LGBTQ+ voters, military voters, Tribal voters, rural voters, and tens of millions of married women and transgender individuals—while sowing disinformation about election integrity. The bill would require every single American citizen to provide very specific documents, such as a passport or birth certificate, in person when registering to vote or updating their voter registration.

And if that wasn’t enough, due to pressure from the President, some Senators are trying to add anti-trans provisions to this already terrible bill that would target transgender youth.

Join us in protecting the right to vote. Urge your senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act and to reject any anti-transgender today at the link in the PFLAG national bio.

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), we rise in partnership with LGBTQ+ orgs around the world to amplify the importance of fighting for LGBTQ+ rights globally.

This year’s theme—“At the heart of democracy”—is a reminder of our collective strength. We’re proud to unite with LGBTQ+ people and their allies around the world in our commitment to creating an equitable and inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. 🏳️‍🌈

At the heart of democracy is love—affirming, powerful, and courageous love for one another. It’s this universal truth that is the heartbeat of our mission, and the mission of LGBTQ+ orgs worldwide. To LGBTQ+ families around the world: We are here and fighting for you.

End the global oppression of LGBTQ+ people.🔥

Join Rainbow Families, Rainbow in Black, and PFLAG National in DC on May 23rd for Fight or Flight: Navigating Parenthood During Trying Times, a powerful community conversation on what it means to raise, support, and affirm families at the intersection of Black and LGBTQ+ identities.⁠

From building pathways to parenthood for same-sex and trans relationships to supporting a child’s true identity without causing harm, this session will create space for honest dialogue, shared experience, and community connection.⁠

This free panel—followed up by a fabulous pride-filled family reception—takes place on May 23 from 3-4:30pm ET in the Downtown Westin’s Potomac Ballroom Salon 2 located at 999 9th St. NW in Washington DC. Visit the link in our bio to learn more!

We’ve been nominated for a Webby Award! Our video series, “I Changed My Mind: Stories of Un-Learning, Growth and Transformation” has been included in the 30th annual , and we’re counting on YOU to help us win the coveted The Webby People's Voice Award!

I Changed My Mind is a series of thought-provoking and inspiring conversations developed by filmmaker Brooke Sebold, produced in collaboration with PFLAG National, that centers parents, families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their stories of transformation and courage to change and renew. 🏳️‍🌈

I Changed My Mind is driven by the belief that personal transformation is possible—even amid extreme polarization—and that sharing authentic stories of change can foster empathy, reconciliation, and progress to support that transformation. At a moment when LGBTQ+ people face renewed political and cultural threats that jeopardize decades of advocacy, the series confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time: can people truly change their long-held beliefs, and what does that process look like?

Voting is open now through Thursday, April 16th, at 11:59 pm PDT! Share this post and vote today at the link in our bio.
