Through the retelling of stories, sharing of memories, exchange of ideas, and lively discussion, PFLAG members give support to each other during and after our Sunday meetings.
From the initial shock of learning about a gay or lesbian family member or friend to the pride and acceptance that follows, PFLAG is there for you. We offer a non-judgemental, open and accepting environment
for you to share your feelings and your struggles. Open to families, friends, and people of all sexual orientations, our main goal is to help you understand and accept someone in your life who is gay or
lesbian.
PFLAG can be an important part of your journey toward understanding. We provide a place with people who understand and will support your feelings as you move through the various phases of your journey - feelings
from anger to grief to acceptance. We understand. We've been there.
Our members can tell you from experience that talking about the situation, no matter what your feelings are, really helps. There are books to read, hotlines to call, and people to meet - people who can help you
through your journey by sharing their experiences. We are committed to acting with truth and respect, to confronting our fear and ignorance about homosexuality, and to build communities where difference is both understood and valued.
With PFLAG, you'll always have a shoulder to cry on, a friend to laugh with, and family to celebrate with.
