PFLAG believes that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals (LGBT) should be protected from discrimination or harassment under all federal, state and local laws throughout the United States as a protected class. Federal, state and local governments should insert “sexual orientation, gender identity and expression” along with other protected classes in applicable anti-discrimination laws and repeal current laws that discriminate against LGBT persons.
(Adopted by the PFLAG Board of Directors on October 26, 2012 and replaces 2 previous policies: Boy Scouts of America and Inclusion in legislation.)
