4. PFLAG is another group that didn't recognize the existence of children of gay people for a long time.

It began as Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and later expanded to Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

But it always seemed as if somehow the children were supposed to be supporting the gay parents -- rather than the reverse. It's the job of all parents no matter what their orientation to recognize the challenges their children face and to support them.

It's a scary time for families right now, especially in red states.
