Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG) is a national non-profit
organization with over 200,000 members and supporters and over 500 affiliates in
the United States.
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.

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.

all faith backgrounds, races, cultures, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, and
sexual orientations.
