You know… it used to be the case that when using an acronym in an article, it was always explained after the first usage in the text. Journalistic editorial standards have really slipped.
I assume you’re talking about not defining PFLAG? Acronyms widely understood by the target audience aren’t always defined. The LA Blade is an LGBTQ publication so PFLAG not being defined makes sense.

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

Oh well. I guess I’ll never know.
Ever try typing an acronym into a search engine?
Can’t be bothered. I clicked on article. Poor editorial standards. Ok I’m out.
