A mother’s love is an unstoppable force. 🔥 On this day, Jeanne Manford and her son Morty took to the streets at the 1972 Christopher Street Liberation Day March with a message of love, unity, and defiance that shocked and rallied the nation: Mothers and fathers IN SUPPORT of g**s. By standing as an ally—as a mother—Jeanne challenged the families of LGBTQ+ people, daring them to say, “I too will fight for my child.”
In the years after, a growing troupe of families and their LGBTQ+ loved ones backed the cause and coalesced into one unstoppable force: PFLAG National.
Love, protection, solidarity—these are the sparks that ignited and fuel our organization. Today and every day, we celebrate our founder’s incredible legacy, and channel her powerful mission to Lead with Love.
