About PFLAG Pendleton
PFLAG Pendleton serves the Pendleton, OR community as a compassionate support network rooted in the power of family love and acceptance. The chapter began years ago when caring parents came together to support one another through their children's coming-out journeys, recognizing the emotional challenges families face during this significant life transition. In 2005, PFLAG Pendleton reorganized to expand its mission and better serve the broader LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones during times of social and political stress.
As part of PFLAG—the first and largest national organization of its kind—PFLAG Pendleton carries a vision of a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. The chapter's mission centers on uniting loving families with LGBTQ+ people and allies in mutual support, while working to educate and mobilize the community to advocate for acceptance and equality.
What distinguishes PFLAG Pendleton is its foundation in authentic family relationships and lived experience. Members hold themselves accountable through transparent communication, timely responsiveness, and clear boundaries, creating safe spaces where individuals can share their stories and find belonging. The chapter represents a intergenerational community of families committed to speaking up as advocates until all hearts and minds in the Pendleton area respect, value, and affirm LGBTQ+ people.
