PFLAG's Vision and Mission
Parents, Families &
Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG) is a national non-profit organization
with over 80,000 members and supporters and more than 460 affiliates
in the United States. This vast grassroots network is cultivated,
resourced and serviced by the PFLAG national office, located in Washington,
DC, the national Board of Directors and 14 Regional Directors.
Our Vision
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. PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of
all who share in, and hope to realize this vision.
Our Mission
PFLAG promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual
transgendered, and questioning 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.
