Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) is a national organization that promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (glbt) persons, their families, and friends through:

= support, to cope with an adverse society

= education, to enlighten an ill-informed public

= advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights

PFLAG provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.

You can be part of this important work through the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of PFLAG!

Whether you know all about it or are reeling from the discovery that a loved one is glbt, you can learn and help others through your experiences. You'll find out you're not alone--there are many others who have faced this truth and come out in stronger and more loving relationships. Both glbt people themselves and their families and friends are among our members, so no matter where you're coming from, you'll find someone to listen and help.

Read our membership page to learn more about our monthly meetings and the activities in which we participate to support our glbt family and friends, especially young people in schools. Read our current newsletter here.
