History

In 1972, Queens school teacher Jeanne Manford walked alongside her gay son, activist Morty Manford, at the Christopher Street Liberation Day parade, carrying a sign that read, “Parents of Gays: Unite in Support for Our Children.” The overwhelming response to that act led Jeanne, her husband Jules, and early pioneers of the LGBT equality movement to create a support group for LGBT people, their parents, family, and friends. The first meeting of that group, now known as PFLAG, took place on this site in March 1973.
