One Year Ago Today: PFLAG Plaque Unveiled

One year ago today outside the Church of the Village at the corner of Seventh Avenue and West 13th Street, GVSHP helped to unveil a plaque to commemorate the first meeting of PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). The organization, which now has 350 chapters in all 50 states, had its humble beginnings right here in the Village when Jeanne Manford and others met for the first time at this church in March 1973.
To kick off Pride Week here in New York, we thought we’d take a look back at some photos from the unveiling that took place on Sunday, June 23, 2013. This event, held in partnership with PFLAG, was part of GVSHP’s historic plaque program.
