The Brenda Howard Memorial Award was created in 2005 by the Queens Chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).[1]

This award to be given annually, recognizes an individual or organization whose work on behalf of the Bisexual Community and greater LGBT Community best exemplifies the vision, principals and community service exemplified by the late bisexual rights activist Brenda Howard and who serves as a positive and visible role model for the entire LGBT Community.

This is the first time a major American LGBT organization was named award after an out bisexual member of the LGBT community.

In addition to the “Brenda Howard Award” the Queens Chapter of PFLAG also presents the “Morty Manford Award”[2] and the “Carmel Tavadia Memorial Award”[3].
