The LGBTQ rights activist Jeanne Manford has died at the age of 92. Manford founded the group PFLAG — Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. In 1972, Manford made headlines after denouncing police for failing to protect her gay son when he was attacked at a protest of the Gay Activists Alliance. In a letter to the New York Post, Manford wrote at the time: “I have a homosexual son, and I love him.”
