About PFLAG Ithaca Cortland
Since its establishment in 1986, PFLAG Ithaca Cortland has been a cornerstone of support and advocacy for LGBTQ people and their families in Cortland, New York, and the surrounding central New York communities. As an affiliated chapter of PFLAG National, this organization is built on three foundational commitments: providing support to help individuals cope with societal challenges, offering education to enlighten and inform the public, and engaging in advocacy to eliminate discrimination and secure civil rights. The group creates a caring, affirming environment where people can gather, share experiences, and build meaningful connections. Monthly gatherings at the Interfaith Center in Cortland bring together diverse community members who are united in their commitment to understanding and acceptance. PFLAG Ithaca Cortland recognizes that supporting LGBTQ individuals extends beyond the individual to encompass families and friends who play vital roles in their lives. Through dialogue, resource sharing, and community education, the organization has spent decades fostering a more just and affirming world in Cortland and beyond. The organization's mission reflects a deep commitment to creating lasting social change by building bridges of understanding between LGBTQ communities and the broader public, making it an essential resource for anyone seeking support, education, or opportunities to advocate for equality in central New York.
