    It’s not an acronym anymore. It used to stand for Parents and Families of Lesbians and Gays but they have expanded their charter to include all their members. Since it’s not an acronym, and hasn’t been for about a decade, I assume they decided to to bother to explain what it used to stand for since it’s not relevant to the article.

    In 2014, the organization officially changed its name from “Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays” to, simply, PFLAG. This change was made to accurately reflect PFLAG members, those PFLAG serves, and the inclusive work PFLAG has been doing for decades.

      Righto. Thanks for the info. I guess international readers aren’t figured into their editorial expectations. It is what it is.

      Thanks again.
