Founded in 1972 with the simple act of a mother publicly supporting her gay son, PFLAG is the nation's largest family and ally organization. Uniting people who are le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, and q***r (LGBTQ) with families, friends, and allies, PFLAG is committed to advancing equality and full societal affirmation of LGBTQ people through its threefold mission of support, education, and a
dvocacy. Build the capacity of our organization at every level so that we may have all the resources, in the form of information, people and funding, necessary to move forward in our work with the greatest possible effect. Create a world in which our young people may grow up and be educated with freedom from fear of violence, bullying and other forms of discrimination, regardless of their real or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation or that of their families. Make our vision and our message accessible to the broadest range of ethnic and cultural communities, ending the isolation of families with le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender family members within those communities. Four. Work toward full inclusion of le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender persons within their chosen communities of faith. Five. Create a society in which all LGBT persons may openly and safely pursue the career path of their choice, and may be valued and encouraged to grow to their full potential in the workplace. Create a society in which all le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender persons may enjoy, in every aspect of their lives, full civil and legal equality and may participate fully in all the rights, privileges and obligations of full citizenship in this country. We welcome the participation and support of all who share in our Vision and Mission and who hope to realize our goals. - See more at: http://community.pflag.org/page.aspx?pid=237#sthash.1xpWgU46.dpuf
