Hey PFLAG fam! We've submitted a panel focused on protecting LGBTQ+ stories and combating censorship for the 2026 SXSW EDU. Moderated by reporter Nadra Nittle of The 19th News, the panel will feature our CEO, Brian Bond, author Casey McQuiston, and American Library Association President Sam Helmick.

Brian K. Bond, CEO of PFLAG National, about today’s 6-3 Supreme Court decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor “Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is a heartbreaking one for LGBTQ+ students, families and employees of Montgomery County Public Schools. 1/4
