oh so theres not even an attempt to hide behind some "protect the children" bullshit this time? just a clear and direct "fuck you" to lgbtq people? what a state...
Is it normal, as a Texan evac, to be afraid of joining PFLAG in another state? I used to feel that was just one of my psychosis symptoms, unwillingness to join a formal rainbow group and actually socialize, but now I'm increasingly unsure
they're just cliques fam, find the good people already in your circle and hold them close. rubbing elbows and trying to fit in with various "queer" groups and orgs as a baby tran was awful for my mental health, you just become a stepping stone for some more privileged person's clout-building.
You know… it used to be the case that when using an acronym in an article, it was always explained after the first usage in the text. Journalistic editorial standards have really slipped.
It's not an acronym anymore. It used to stand for Parents and Families of Lesbians and Gays but they have expanded their charter to include all their members. Since it's not an acronym, and hasn't been for about a decade, I assume they decided to to bother to explain what it used to stand for since it's not relevant to the article.
In 2014, the organization officially changed its name from “Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays” to, simply, PFLAG. This change was made to accurately reflect PFLAG members, those PFLAG serves, and the inclusive work PFLAG has been doing for decades.
I assume you're talking about not defining PFLAG? Acronyms widely understood by the target audience aren't always defined. The LA Blade is an LGBTQ publication so PFLAG not being defined makes sense.
