Who We Are
PFLAG ​is the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Founded in 1973 by a mother and her gay son, PFLAG was born from the unified front of a family leading with love. An inspiring alliance of LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones continues to fuel PFLAG, fifty years later.
PFLAG’s network of hundreds of chapters and more than 325,000 members and supporters are helping create an equitable and inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved.

​Support Group/Youth​​
While we are holding meetings via Zoom, we will not be offering a youth group during our Support meetings. We encourage youth looking for a support group to contact the Hugh Lane Foundation or Gender Spectrum.
A closed (safe) Facebook support group of parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. Contact the Warmline at 412-833-4556 for more information.
We would love to welcome you to our parent-to-parent coffee! This
informal gathering allows us as parents of transgender, gender diverse and gender questioning children to connect.
This is a parent-run event, open only to parents and direct caregivers of these children. We respect each other's confidentiality and the fact that we may be in different stages of this journey. We all have felt very alone and confused at times, and have found that connecting with other parents of gender-diverse children to be a great relief.
Join us online for a ZOOM get-together once a month at 7:00 pm.​
