PFLAG Madison
About PFLAG Madison
PFLAG promotes the health and well being of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning persons, their families and friends through:
- Support, to cope with an adverse society
- Education, to enlighten an ill-informed public
- 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 are a group with a three part mission. First and foremost, we exist to support parents and families of lesbians, gays, transgender, and bisexuals who are having problems accepting their relative’s sexual orientation. We also support the spouses of newly out LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning) people. Second, we strive to educate ourselves and others about LGBTQ issues. Third, we are visible advocates for issues affecting the LGBTQ family, such as discrimination in the workplace and housing. With our LGBTQ family and friends, we work for equality of all their civil rights.
