Publications, Training, and Educational Resources

PFLAG National offers a number of educational resources for the parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ people, including publications written for parents, families, and allies. This also includes live webinars and on-demand training resources as well as an expansive glossary of terms.

• PFLAG National Glossary of Terms
  • Ally: A term generally relating to individuals who support marginalized groups. In the LGBTQ+ community, this term is used to describe an individual who is supportive of LGBTQ+ individuals and the community, either personally or as an advocate. Allies include both heterosexual and cisgender people who advocate for equality in partnership with LGBTQ+ people, as well as people within the LGBTQ+ community who advocate for others in the community. “Ally” is not an identity, and allyship is an ongoing process of learning that includes action.
