This month PFLAG's Transgender Network (TNET) President Kim Pearson is featured in Diversity Rules magazine for her critical work with transgender youth. She is also Executive Director and Co-Founder of TransYouth Family Allies (TYFA).Pearson explains to Diversity Rules, "Create schools and communities that respect and celebrate that people are different. Speak up when someone says 'that’s so gay' or 'what a sissy' or 'boys don’t do that.' Make room for difference. Value individuality and learn about that which you do not currently understand. Have an honest and compassionate conversation with a transgender adult, child or parent…walk a mile in their shoes... The only way the ‘rules’ of society change is for individuals to step up and say something. When we stop accepting the status quo and start living the change we wish to see in the world, that is when true change will happen, in my humble opinion."

As this week marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots that ignited the modern struggle for LGBT equality, AARP gives voice to the LGBT and ally leaders who have helped shape the direction of our movement.
And AARP turned to PFLAG National president John Cepek for his memories. Cepek tells AARP:
"Little did my wife and I know when we got married in June 1969 that our marriage and the birth of the gay rights movement would coincide. Now when we celebrate our anniversary, we also celebrate our wonderful gay son, and we are committed to seeing that he has the same civil rights as his straight brother."
