PFLAG Franklin will once again participate in the Su***de Prevention Walk at Cenntennial High School on April 12 at 1pm. We know that LGBTQ+ individuals are at higher risk, so we walk to support that community.

We'd love for you to join our PFLAG Franklin Team. You can find our team page here where you can make a donation or join our team to participate on April 12.

Just a reminder that our special event is Monday, March 3! Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, will present on “The Bible and LGBTQIA+ Issues,” 7pm, March 3, 2025 at Christ UMC Franklin. Dr. Levine will guide us through a historical-critical perspective on the Clobber Verses, the handful of verses in the Bible used to support religious opposition to LGBTQIA+ people. We are sponsoring this event along with Always God's Children, so we’re anticipating a large group. No registration needed.

Healthy Families Bright Futures program seeks to increase caregiver acceptance and support for their LGBTQ+ teen as well as equip caregivers with tools to help their teen make healthy choices. Likewise, the program seeks to increase pride and social connection among LGBTQ+ teens as well as to provide teens with information and skills about making healthy choices around things like substance use and dating.

They are currently recruiting parents into this paid research program. If you are interested in participating, please contact Alyson at [email protected].

A full day of advocacy at the Advancing Equality Day on the Hill, organized beautifully by the Tennessee Equality Project. LGBTQ activists and allies came from all over the state to advocate for equality with TN lawmakers, sit in on hearings, and let our voices be heard. So grateful for all the amazing folks doing this hard and important work.

Williamson County was well represented with members from PFLAG Franklin, Wilco Iris, Franklin Pride, and individuals from the community.

Then some of us finished the day returning to Franklin to attend tonight’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting where the permit for the 2025 Franklin Pride Festival was approved unanimously. It was a blessedly uneventful meeting and we are looking forward to to June 7.

Today was a reminder that while there are big challenges ahead as q***r and transgender people are under relentless attack right now, the LGBTQ community is resilient and will not be erased.

The LGBT community has been hit hard in the last 48 hours. And we are feeling it here in Williamson County. Franklin Pride has lost some significant donors.

If you have enjoyed the festival in the past, now is the time to show your support in a real, material way. Please consider a financial contribution to make sure the amazing Franklin Pride Festival has another successful event this June.

PFLAG Franklin was part of helping to launch Franklin Pride, and we are proud partners with them in so many ways throughout the year. We are committed to supporting Franklin Pride’s efforts to create community for LGBT people in Williamson County.

With the heightened attacks against the LGBT community and restrictions against their rights, we need the Franklin Pride Festival now, more than ever.

We will not have any support meetings in December, but we will gather to celebrate the holidays. Come join us Sunday, December 8!

This Giving Tuesday we hope that you will consider supporting PFLAG Franklin in your giving by becoming a member, making a general donation, or contributing to our Scholarship Fund. Visit our website at www.pflagfranklintn.org to support us!
