About PFLAG Mount Pleasant
Founded in 1972 by Jeanne Manford, PFLAG Mount Pleasant represents over five decades of leading with love and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals and their loved ones. Serving Henry County and the surrounding counties in Southeast Iowa, PFLAG Mount Pleasant has become a vital community resource grounded in the belief that diversity should be celebrated and all people respected, valued, and affirmed. The organization's vision centers on creating an equitable, inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person feels safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. At its core, PFLAG Mount Pleasant builds on a foundation of loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another through shared experiences and mutual understanding. The Mount Pleasant-based organization goes beyond support by educating communities and speaking up as advocates, working to transform hearts and minds toward greater acceptance and affirmation of LGBTQ+ people. PFLAG Mount Pleasant demonstrates this commitment through community events, local gatherings, and engagement initiatives that bring people together across different backgrounds and beliefs. The organization recognizes the urgent need for visibility and voice, particularly as political challenges to LGBTQ+ rights intensify. By fostering connection between LGBTQ+ individuals, parents seeking understanding, and allies committed to change, PFLAG Mount Pleasant creates spaces where people can be authentically themselves. Whether you're looking for community, resources, or a place to advocate alongside others, PFLAG Mount Pleasant welcomes you into a family dedicated to making Southeast Iowa a better place for everyone.
