Did you know that LGBTQ+ voters made up roughly 7% of the electorate in 2020 and that nearly half of LGBTQ+ voters report that they are more motivated to vote in this year’s midterms? Were you aware that many reports say that if LGBTQ+ voters had stayed home in 2020 that the presidential election may have turned out differently? Join us this Thursday, July 28 at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT for Something to Talk About Live where we will be discussing “Voting rights are key to advancing LGBTQ+ equality", which appeared in Penn Live: The Patriot News by Ricardo Almodovar. We're excited to welcome PFLAG National’s Executive Director, Brian Bond and staff members Diego Sanchez, Patrick Cochran, and Jamie Henkel to the conversation! To learn more--and to check out our discussion questions in advance--visit https://lnkd.in/gp9D6uER.

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reaffirmed that gender-affirming care is necessary medical care, and transgender and nonbinary North Carolinians and West Virginians can rely on government-provided insurance, including Medicaid, for their vital health coverage, like every other American. 🏳️⚧️ Transgender and nonbinary people belong—in our families, our communities, our workplaces, our schools, and our country—and PFLAG will not rest until every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, affirmed, and loved. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/g7NPDdun “PFLAG National applauds today’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to reaffirm that laws that discriminate in healthcare, that ban certain vulnerable neighbors from accessing care covered for others, are unconstitutional. Health care works best when you can get the care you need when you need it, whether you’re transgender or not.” - Brian K. Bond, CEO, PFLAG National

For many, music has the power to heal and to help them through the good and bad times. With her status as a country music queen being reaffirmed on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, it’s only natural that the PFLAG team takes some time to talk about Dolly Parton, and her music’s impact on the LGBTQ+ Community.
