Around 200 parents, trans people, advocates, and allies gathered outside NYU Langone to condemn the hospital’s decision to end gender-affirming care for trans youth and pay $8.5 million following its agreement with the Trump administration’s Department of Justice.

HHS issued a new rule that would ban federal funding for medically necessary care for trans youth under 18 for Medicaid and under 19 for CHIP. This does not ban currently available care, and states that permit care would still be allowed to use available state Medicaid and CHIP funds.
Against a pale green background and encased in a thin, light blue border is a statement from PFLAG National that can be read in the description. A teal heading reads, “HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT. In Response to New Rule Banning Federal Funding for Medically Necessary Care for Transgender Youth Under the Age of 18 for Medicaid and Under the Age of 19 for CHIP”. Smaller teal text beneath is an excerpt from the Brian K. Bond quote: “With this new HHS rule, the Trump Administration is once again doing serious harm to trans youth and their parents, who simply want what every parent wants for their child: to grow up to become thriving, healthy, happy adults. Families are working with their medical providers to make sound and private healthcare decisions for their families—and federal agencies and legislators have no place in that conversation. To every transgender youth, every parent, every family: PFLAG has your back. We see you, we value you, and we will never back down to ensure you get the care and support you need, when you need it.”. In the lower right corner is the PFLAG logo bookended by a heart in the style of the trans flag.

The action of the Georgia legislature returning to the state capital to reduce Black voting representation is nothing short of racism and discrimination.
Against a light blue background and encased in a thin, teal border is the following teal text: MOBILIZING AGAINST UNFAIR REDISTRICTING EFFORTS. The action of the Georgia legislature returning to the state capital to reduce Black voting representation is nothing short of racism and discrimination. In addition to states like Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and others that are working to erode Black voting rights, we condemn the efforts to return to the Jim Crow era. We’ll be joining the NAACP tonight to learn more about how we can fight—we hope you’ll join too! Thursday, May 14, 2026 7:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm PT”.

Subversive. Sinful. Sick. Negative opinions about gay people were ubiquitous in the 1970s. “There was no pro-gay propaganda. The support wasn’t out there,” remembered activist and @pflag.org co-founder Morty Manford (died #OnThisDate 1992) during his 1989 interview with Eric. 🔊 bit.ly/mgh-manford

The white text on the graphic reads, "PFLAG National, our chapters, members and supporters join our voices in support of the Southern Poverty Law Center and everyone’s freedom to speak out against injustice. This latest effort to cast a shadow on the noble and dangerous work of the SPLC highlights that those in power fear the power of the people to organize and protect our rights.

ICYMI: Last year, PFLAG National SUED President Trump over an executive order that would shut down nationwide access to necessary medical care for transgender people under 19. We then WON a preliminary injunction to stop this executive order from being carried out while litigation commenced.
Teal text on a light green background reads, “JUSTICE FOR TRANS YOUTH / DONATE TO PFLAG NATIONAL TO SUPPORT OUR ONGOING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, PFLAG V. TRUMP”. A cut-out photo of a gavel sits in the lower right corner, and a heart in the style of the trans pride flag is next to the PFLAG logo in the lower left corner.

It’s a scary time. And we know that the Texas Supreme Court decision has created additional fear and anxiety for trans people and their loved ones. We want to be clear: PFLAG National has always been steadfast that we would not turn over our members’ names or identities to the State of Texas.
Against a teal background and encased in a thin, pastel blue border is a statement from PFLAG National that can be read in the description. A large white headline reads, “We’ve Got You” and a gold subheading beneath reads, “Statement in Response to Texas Supreme Court Decision”.
