PFLAG is an international organization created by parents, families and friends to gain understanding and support of our gay loved ones. PFLAG offers a wonderful opportunity for families, friends, and gay people (gay men, lesbians, transgendered and bisexuals) to learn and grow together. Here, participants find a confidential, warm and supportive setting where we can share our concerns with others and find comfort and reassurance about our gay children, family members, friends and ourselves.
