Our Vision
PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
Our Mission
Meeting people where they are and collaborating with others, we:
- Advocate in our communities to change attitudes and create policies and laws that affirm the dignity of and realize full equality for LGBTQ people everywhere
- Support LGBTQ people, families, and allies
- Educate ourselves and others about the unique issues and challenges facing LGBTQ people
Our Goals
Proud People
All people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer must not only be valued by society, but take pride in and value themselves. We do this through providing peer-to-peer support, educating people on the issues that are important to the community, and advocating for inclusive policies and laws.
Loving Families
Family support and acceptance is critical to the health and well-being of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. This has been PFLAG’s core work for over four decades.
Safe Communities
People who are LGBTQ and their families deserve to be safe and secure, no matter where they live, work, study, pray or play. All communities must provide this type of security and have the resources needed to help those communities thrive.
Diverse and Inclusive World
The world should be a place where difference is celebrated and where all people are valued inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
