I am a proud member of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) . This is how they describe the organization on their website:
"Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian and bisexual 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 civil rights. PFLAG provides an opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation, and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity. Serving more than 69,000 members, PFLAG affiliates are located in more than 400 communities across the United States, and in 11 other countries. "
I strongly encourage you to join this organization. It is extremely important for every person in this country to have a "safe place", and PFLAG is dedicated to making that happen.
