One of the main goals of PFLAG is to keep families together. To facilitate this goal, we provide a safe place for ALL members of the family to share their feelings and experiences with others who have been down the same road.
 

What is PFLAG?
On this site you'll learn more about our local chapter of PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).  PFLAG Louisville serves the Louisville community as part of PFLAG National.  PFLAG is a national non-profit organization organized in more than 440 communities in all 50 states, and represents more than 80,000 member households, donors and supporters. Chapters range in size from a few families to several hundred in regular attendance. PFLAG is best known for local support groups, and they remain the heart of PFLAG’s work in communities. Particularly in rural states, PFLAG is often the only source of information about homosexuality and gender identity, and the only regular support for those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender or care about someone who is. As an organization that believes that change happens on the grassroots level in local communities, it is PFLAG’s top priority to support the work of local affiliates. The Regional Directors and the Field, Program and Policy Department work to strengthen local affiliates through providing resources, technical assistance and training.  

Our Vision
We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered persons, celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Only with respect, dignity and equality for all will we reach our full potential as human beings, individually and collectively. PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of all who share in, and hope to realize, this vision.
