PFLAG (formerly Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and
Gays) was born of a need by parents to help themselves and family
members deal with, understand, and accept their non-heterosexual
children and the new world they are thrust into when their children
"come out."
PFLAG Canada has broadened the scope and is a nation-wide
organization that deals with sexual orientation and gender identity
issues from a family perspective, providing support, education and
resources. Our compassionate volunteers across Canada open their
hearts and homes, give freely of their time and are there to listen to
people in their time of crisis. If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, intersex, queer or questioning
(GLBTT2IQQ) or if you care about someone who is, let us help.
Mission: PFLAG Canada is a national voice that speaks for a more
accepting Canadian society by providing support, education and
resources on issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Through our PFLAG Chapter and Contact network, we actively
assist in the recognition and growth of gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, intersex, queer and
questioning persons and their families and friends, within their
diverse cultures and societies.
Programs/Services: The education of others begins with self-education. We place
material on our web site as it becomes available to us. This may be
information that is not available elsewhere. But, because of its
primary importance, our first resource is reprinted from the web
site of PFLAG USA, whom we thank for their permission to do so.
Be sure also, when visiting our web site, to see our Links and
Forum sections for related organizations and web sites.
