PFLAG NYC 50th Anniversary Gala

The Board of Directors hosted PFLAG NYC’s 50th Anniversary Gala on June 5, 2023, for a night of celebration, recognition, and appreciation!

For five decades, PFLAG NYC has provided support, education, and advocacy to parents, families, and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals in the New York City metropolitan area. We’ve come a long way in 50 years, but much work must be done to advance LGBTQ+ equality and create a more inclusive society for all.

All proceeds from the gala went towards supporting PFLAG NYC’s ongoing work to provide support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. We are thrilled that so many of you joined us for this unforgettable night and have continued to support us in our mission – here’s to another 50 years and beyond!

We enjoyed celebrating with you!
