Start a Chapter

PFLAG is an organization of LGBTQ+ people, parents, families, and allies who work together to create an equitable and inclusive world. We are hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of chapters from coast to coast who are leading with love to support families, educate allies, and advocate for just, equitable, and inclusive legislation and policies.

PFLAG would not be where we are today without our volunteers, members, or chapters—the humble superheroes who are committed to guiding and rallying around LGBTQ+ individuals, their families, and allies. PFLAG accompanies each individual on their journey by meeting them where they are and providing support and guidance along the way. When you start a chapter, you’ll join an extended family of people all across the country who work every day to ensure LGBTQ+ people everywhere are safe, celebrated, empowered and loved.
