PFLAG&#8211;for those who don&#8217;t know the acronym&#8211;stands for Parents, Friends and Families of Lesbians and Gays; the organization has 350+ chapters in the US and abroad.  &#8221;Straight for Equality&#8221; is an advocacy campaign the national organization has just launched.

It&#8217;s a bad comparison. McCarthy&#8217;s charges were dishonest at best, paranoid at worst, and he did a lot of damage to a lot of of people and to the country as a whole. But give him credit [...]]]></description>

If the reports are accurate, the decision reflects the fact that the Foundation is currently controlled by political conservatives hostile to Planned Parenthood, and that hostility trumped concerns for women&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
