It is with a sad heart that we announce the passing of long time Board member and past Secretary/Treasurer, Tom Rachal on February 9, 2026. He sat on the board for so many years, that even he lost count, but it was at least 20!

He will be sorely missed by all in our community!

This is how you show up for community!

Thank you to Natalia Janicka and the crew at for organizing the food pantry drive for Four A's last month! We appreciate everyone who donated to the effort and will be distributing it to our community members in need this week.

On this Giving Tuesday, consider supporting an organization that fights for the rights of our LGBTQ+ loved ones. No gift is too small.


org/givingtuesday

Support our work with a donation this Giving Tuesday—the largest day of global online charitable giving! For over 50 years, PFLAG has been fighting for our LGBTQ+ community, and 2025 has been no exception. In the past year, we have sued President Trump to protect necessary medical care for trans youth under 19; expanded our network with over 40 new chapters, mainly in rural communities; launched our nationwide, grassroots advocacy campaign, Fighting For Our Pride; achieved a major win in Michigan for inclusive education; and so much more.

Your gift will ensure that we keep the momentum going to further our mission of creating a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.

This is our moment to fight—for love, for liberty, for each other. 🏳️‍🌈 Give toward our goal of $25,000 for LGBTQ+ people and their families by donating today at pflag.org/GivingTuesday

On this day when we contemplate things we are thankful for, we deeply appreciate our friends Snow City Cafe for thinking about the needs of others in the community by sponsoring a food drive for Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association (Four A's).

You can swing by the Cafe and drop off nutrient-dense snacks or ready to eat/quick cook foods in the bin provided near the host stand.

Feel free to park in the loading zone if you’re not planning on staying for a tasty meal!

We are always thankful for community but especially at this time of year. Please help if you can!

We’re teaming up with Four A’s (Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association) this season to help our neighbors living with HIV stay nourished and supported. ❤️

You can help, too! Drop off nonperishable food items at Snow City Cafe all month long — things like rice, beans, soups, canned fruits and veggies, nut butter, and protein bars go a long way.
Every donation helps build a stronger, more caring community. Let’s fill those bins, Anchorage!

Finally some positive news coming out of the nation’s capital. Marriage equality stands! 🏳️‍🌈

GOOD NEWS: Today, the U.S. Supreme Court declined a request to hear a challenge to marriage equality.

"Today the U.S. Supreme Court did the right thing by dismissing a case questioning settled law that ensures the freedom to marry extends to same-sex couples and in*******al couples.

The freedom to say ‘I do’ is more than just love and commitment. It's also about the right to visit your spouse in the hospital or to make medical decisions. It’s about both parents having legal rights to raise their children. It’s about having access to financial benefits for buying a house or car. The law now needs to catch up so that disabled couples have the freedom to marry without that they may lose access to critical benefits—because love and liberty are inseparable.

Today millions of LGBTQ and in*******al couples can breathe as their marriages remain protected by law. However, LGBTQ+ rights remain under attack on a number of fronts. The chapters, members, and supporters of PFLAG remain unwavering in their commitment to ensuring that every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved and that their civil rights are protected by law at every level—local, regional, state, and federal.” - Brian K. Bond (he/him), CEO, PFLAG National

TDOR is a day to honor those whose lives have been lost in the past year to anti-trans violence or su***de.

Be present to witness a powerful example of how Anchorage honors community.

We couldn’t agree more with PFLAG National regarding our trans family members.

Thanks to the caring parents and guardians of nonbinary and transgender kids who joined us for tonight’s Transparent Zoom meeting. It was a delight to see familiar faces and meet new folks too! We’ll be sure to share the date for our December statewide Zoom meeting soon.

2025 has been quite the year for trans awareness. Since Trump’s inauguration, trans people have been THE hot topic—emblazoned in every headline, embroiled in every debate, existing under constant questioning and scrutiny.

Trans identities are not some nebulous thought experiment to criticize or judge. They’re *people*. Trans youth, trans adults, trans elders, trans people of color, trans immigrants, and everyone under the gender nonconforming umbrella are not merely “identities” but real, living people deserving of humanity.

We at PFLAG National stand in our truth: that trans people deserve equity, justice, healthcare, safety, respect, joy, liberation, bodily autonomy, legal protection, safety, housing, employment, education, and above all, a loving and affirming world.

To our trans audience: We love you, we’re here for you, and we’re fighting for you. 🏳️‍⚧️

Now more than ever experience the power of community! 🏳️‍⚧️
