PFLAG Greensboro
PFLAG is the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. PFLAG Greensboro, founded in 1993, is a local chapter of PFLAG providing support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals, their families, and allies. We hold monthly support group meetings as well as individual consultations for those looking for individual help or support. We provide much of that support through, educational outreach programs to other organizations, advocates in the Triad, and our state and federal legislatures.
Support – PFLAG facilitates separate monthly in-person and online support groups, as well as a weekly support group for parents and allies of transgender folks. We also provide periodic programs for special topics and events.
Educate – Each month, as part of our support groups, we provide a different education topic relevant to the time of year (back-to-school, coming out, etc.). For the parents / allies of transgender folks, we provide a faith-based discussion one week, book club the next week, sharing our stories, and trans-specific education topics. We also do periodic special programs like suicide prevention training, name change clinic, and others.
Advocate – PFLAG strives to partner with other local and National organizations to educate key decision-makers about the issues that affect our loved ones and families, and to teach others how to use their voices to amplify our efforts toward a more equitable, and just world for the LGBTQ+ community.
Simply put, we are you. We are moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, children, and allies. We are straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning. Members of PFLAG can come from any faith or community traditions in support of others.
What we all have in common is our commitment to grow beyond false and harmful perceptions of LGBTQ+ people, to educate ourselves and our communities, and to stand up for full equal rights and protections for LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones. We are the Greensboro community.
By meeting people where they are and collaborating with others, PFLAG realizes its mission through:
PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
