About PFLAG
Founded in 1972 with the simple act of a mother publicly supporting her gay son, PFLAG is the nation’s largest
family and ally organization. Uniting people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) with families, friends, and allies, PFLAG is committed to advancing equality and full societal affirmation of LGBTQ
people through its threefold mission of support, education, and advocacy.
PFLAG has over 350 chapters and 200,000 members and supporters crossing multiple generations of American families in major urban centers, small cities, and rural areas in all 50 states.
This vast grassroots network is cultivated, resourced, and serviced by PFLAG National, located in Washington, D.C., the National Board of Directors and 13 Regional Directors.
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.
Mission
By meeting people where they are and collaborating with others, PFLAG realizes its vision through:
-
Support for families, allies and people who are LGBTQ
-
Education for ourselves and others about the unique issues and challenges facing people who are LGBTQ
-
Advocacy in our communities to change attitudes and create policies and laws that achieve full equality for people who are LGBT

PFLAG Strategic Goals:
One: Build the capacity of our organization at every level so that we may have all the resources, in the form of information, people and funding, necessary to move forward in our work with the greatest possible effect.
Two: Create a world in which our young people may grow up and be educated with freedom from fear of violence, bullying and other forms of discrimination, regardless of their real perceived gender identity or sexual orientation or that of their families.
Three: Make our vision and our message accessible to the broadest range of ethnic and cultural communities, ending the isolation of families with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members within those communities.
Four: Work toward full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons within their chosen communities of faith.
Five: Create a society in which all LGBT persons may openly and safely pursue the career path of their choice, and may be valued and encouraged to grow to their full
potential in the workplace.
Six: Create a society in which all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons may enjoy, in every aspect of their lives, full civil and legal equality and may participate fully in all the rights, privileges and obligations of full citizenship in this country. We welcome the participation and support of all who share in our Vision and Mission and who hope to realize our goals.
