PFLAG on In-Focus



Link to watch the PFLAG Interview-

PFLAG Cincinnati is a local chapter of the national organization called PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians & Gays), the nation’s largest family-based group of its kind. PFLAG began in 1972, when a courageous mother marched with her gay son in New York City’s gay pride parade. Her single voice—calling on society to treat all of its citizens equally and with dignity—sparked a national movement. Since then, tens of thousands of ordinary Americans have joined forces as PFLAG. With its unique family voice and grassroots network, PFLAG is creating a safe and just world in ways nobody else can. On the national level and in more than 500 communities across America, we support one another, educate the public and advocate for equality. Just as one mother spoke out in 1972, we speak out today—united in our belief that love is stronger than fear, and that all our children are EQUAL.


Mission Statement
Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays 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 secure civil rights.
