Jeanne Manford

A very quick post.

I consider myself extremely lucky.  I live in a time and place where GLBTI people have a lot of rights and general protection under the law.  I know that it's not perfect, that GLBTI citizens in Western civilisations still have a long way to go, but it's a lot better than it was 30 years ago.

GLBTI younger than 40 have a lot to thank for those who fought homophobia in law and society in the 70's and 80's.  Jeanne Manford, the US founder of PFLAG is one of those who we owe a lot to.

The below video comes from MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show.  Worth a quick look at.
