From the PFLAG "History" webpage: "Parents, Families, Friends and Allies United with the LGBTQ community (PFLAG) a national non-profit organization with over 200,000 members and supporters and over 500 affiliates in the United States.

In 1972, Jeanne Manford started an international movement when she marched with her son Mortie in New York’s Gay Pride Parade. Enraged that her son had been beaten at a gay rights protest two months before while police did nothing, she carried a sign at the Pride march that said, 'Parents of Gays: Unite in Support of Our Children.'
30 years later, PFLAG has grown to include more than 500 chapters nationwide, over 200,000 members, supporters, and affiliates, representing the largest chapter network in the struggle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) rights." (linked in this record)
