PFLAG Fort Worth
About PFLAG Fort Worth
PFLAG Fort Worth has been serving the Fort Worth, Texas community since 1992, when it began as a small support group in the office of Dr. Rita Cotterly at the Sexuality Education Center. What started with just one parent and one gay man has grown into a vibrant chapter that meets monthly and continues to expand its reach across generations of families. The chapter's journey reflects its deep commitment to building loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another unconditionally. Since receiving its charter in August 1992, PFLAG Fort Worth has become an integral part of the community, hosting meetings at Celebration Community Church and actively participating in local Pride events, legislative advocacy, and partnerships with organizations like Samaritan House. The chapter envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed in their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Members have consistently spoken up for equality, from advocating during pivotal moments in national policy to supporting Fort Worth's 2000 addition of sexual orientation to the city's non-discrimination ordinance. Today, PFLAG Fort Worth remains dedicated to educating the community, providing safe spaces for connection, and advocating for the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. Whether you're seeking understanding, community, or a place to belong, PFLAG Fort Worth welcomes you with open hearts.
