Solid information is essential for both those coming out and their family and allies.   If you’re looking to do some individual study, PFLAG offers introductory information and educational publications.

Knowledgebase

A good place to start for introductory general information is PFLAG National’s Get Started with the Essentials page.  PFLAG National has compiled the best information available from noted authorities and our chapters nationwide.  We have information directed towards LGBT persons, family, and friends that will bring you up to speed on terminology; will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the coming out process; help you better support your LGBTQ+ loved one; and guide you in taking action to support equality in society. Visit the PFLAG National website.

Publications

PFLAG offers several excellent publications covering important topics for LGBTQ individuals, families, and allies, as well as links to recommended trade publications. You can download PDFs on our Publications page.
