PFLAG CORNHUSKER

  Welcome To PFLAG Cornhusker Website !

We are the Cornhusker Chapter of  Parents, Families and Friends of  Lesbians and Gays in Lincoln, Nebraska.

We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations, and gender identities. Only with respect, dignity and equality for all will we reach our full potential as human beings, individually and collectively. PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of all who share in, and hope to realize this vision.

On Monday, May 14^th, the Lincoln, City Council voted 5 - 0 to pass the Fairness Ordinance.  Councilmen Adam Hornung and Jon Camp abstained from voting.  The Mayor signed the ordinance into law on May 14th at around 5pm.  The measure legally protects people from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations in Lincoln based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
