About PFLAG

Our Vision – We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered 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.

Our Mission  – PFLAG promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons, their families and friends through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public; and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights. Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity, and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity

Support – One of primary missions of our local chapter is to offer support for parents, families and friends of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons to understand and accept their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered child, family member or friend.  We offer a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss the issues and challenges of this.
