What is PFLAG?
Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG) is a national
non-profit organization with over 250,000 members and supporters and
over 500 affiliates in the United States. This vast grassroots network
is cultivated, resourced and serviced by the PFLAG national office,
located in Washington, D.C., the national Board of Directors and 14
Regional Directors.
PFLAG Anchorage was incorporated under the laws of the State of Alaska in January 1994.
Our Mission:
Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) promotes
the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
persons, their families and friends, through: support, to cope with
an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public;
and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights.
PFLAG provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and
acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human
diversity.
We Celebrate Family
Families come in all shapes and sizes, but all families share one
thing - their unconditional acceptance and support for their loved
ones.
We Educate Society
We address misconceptions regarding gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender people by providing information based on our personal
experiences and on science. We speak to individuals, church groups,
schools, businesses, and other organizations.
We Advocate Equal Rights
We understand, as our founders did, that the most productive way to
effect change is through public advocacy. We advocate for the safety
and respect of our loved ones regardless of their sexual orientation.
We advocate for the same civil rights for our loved ones that are
enjoyed by all citizens. These are not special rights.
