Metro DC
Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG)
Recommended Reading List
2005

An important piece of the mission of PFLAG is education. We believe that these books are helpful guides on the road to becoming well-informed about gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (g/l/b/t) issues. In the spirit of keeping families together and PFLAG's new Stay Close campaign, many of the following books are geared toward helping families with g/l/b/t members understand one another more fully. This list reaches—both in author and subject matter—to individuals of all ages, races, religions, and relationships. As a vast amount of work has been penned and published on sexual orientation and gender identity, we have attempted to recommend the books that are most applicable to today's society, including works on religion, politics, and history. It is our hope that people will read, enjoy, learn, and of course, stay close!
