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!

Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is recognized on March 31st each year. Right now, it would be easy to give in to the fear caused by misinformation about what it means to be transgender and nonbinary, instead of celebrating trans visibility and the infinite ways people can experience gender and fully explore who they are. So this year, PFLAG National will celebrate TDOV with the release of a new film, “Pieces of Me,” in which New York-based artist and transgender activist Joslyn DeFreece and director/producer Nick Oceano explore how a kid growing up in a conservative midwestern family finds self-acceptance, purpose, and sisterhood. Join us on Thursday, March 28 at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT for our monthly episode of Something to Talk About Live! where we will discuss “Navigating the media minefield: supporting gender expansive youth with confidence,” by Tina Neal which appeared on Advocate.com. We are excited to welcome PIECES OF ME subject/Executive Producer Joslyn DeFreece and Co-Producer Jake McClain to the conversation!
