PFLAG Atlanta
About PFLAG Atlanta
PFLAG Atlanta embodies a legacy of family support and acceptance that began in 1972 when one mother's act of love sparked a national movement. Today, serving Atlanta, GA and the surrounding region, PFLAG Atlanta stands as part of the largest grassroots family organization of its kind, with 350,000 members and supporters across more than 500 communities nationwide. The organization's mission centers on sharing the journey of acceptance with families navigating questions about sexual orientation and gender identity, creating environments where LGBTQ individuals and their loved ones can live with dignity and respect.
What distinguishes PFLAG Atlanta is its deep commitment to genuine human connection and understanding. Rather than imposing answers, the organization facilitates opportunities for dialogue where families discover and learn together, supporting each other through the process of acceptance and growth. The presence of multiple support groups—including specialized sessions for parents of transgender children and spaces for trans teens and allies—demonstrates the organization's understanding that different family members have unique needs and perspectives.
Founded on the principle that dialogue and understanding can transform communities, PFLAG Atlanta continues to change attitudes and challenge discrimination. The organization welcomes all who believe in creating a more inclusive Atlanta, whether they are LGBTQ individuals seeking support, family members on their own journey of acceptance, or allies committed to human dignity and equality.
