10 Simple Things You Can Do

  1. Join PFLAG and support those who are working to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people.

  2. Teach your children that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered is simply another way people are made.

  3. Be sure to let LGBT family members know that you love them just as they are.

  4. Don't tell anti-gay jokes.

  5. Read and find out more about what it is really like to be LGBT in our society. For suggested readings, click here.

  6. Be open with others about having lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered friends and family. Wear your PFLAG pin! Secrecy breeds shame.

  7. If you hear someone making an anti-gay comment or joke, let them know you love an LGBT person, and you don't agree or approve.

  8. Write or call your elected officials to protest anti-gay legislation and to support pro-gay or equal rights legislation.

  9. Encourage open and honest discussion of LGBT issues in your home, workplace, and religious group.

  10. Stand with those who believe that discrimination against anyone is a crime against humanity.
