Be Yourself offers a supportive and understanding approach to today's most common questions and concerns from youth regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. With youth coming out -- and disclosing -- at younger and younger ages, being yourself has never been more important. The publication also includes an up-to-date list of resources, including hotline numbers, other organizations, and more.

Safe Schools: Cultivating Respect
For too many of our children, attending school can be a frightening experience. As parents, families, and friends we need to do something to make schools safer for our LGBT and all students. This publication will help you to advocate for strong national policies, learn the Top 10 Ways you can Make Schools Safer.
Be Not Afraid
​No matter where your faith community falls on LGBTQ people and/or issues, "Straight for Equality" is here to help. Learn how to address your own discomfort when it comes to LGBTQ issues in the context of your religious beliefs, how you can become a straight ally, and small but important steps you can take to express your support for the gay community.
At Ease
​Military families with LGBTQ+ dependents have a unique set of challenges. Moving every few years means reevaluating the cultural norms, laws, schools, and support of LGBTQ+ people at each location. It can feel overwhelming trying to find support for your LGBTQ+ child and yourself. In this new publication, you'll find valuable information designed to help you navigate the military system and find the support that your child -- and your entire family -- need. You'll also hear from other military families, parents, and youth on similar journeys. Some have since retired from military service, their LGBTQ+ children now grown. Others are still very much in the thick of it, with active duty service members and spouses serving our country while raising LGBTQ+ youth. We hope you will find this publication both enjoyable and informative. The staff and volunteers of PFLAG National feel honored to work with military families to help them better support their LGBTQ+ loved ones.
