PFLAG Tampa
About PFLAG Tampa
For nearly five decades, PFLAG Tampa has served as an extended family to the LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones in Tampa, Florida. Founded on the principle that together we are stronger, the organization brings together LGBTQ+ individuals, parents, family members, and allies united by a shared vision of a society that embraces everyone with respect, dignity, and equality. PFLAG Tampa's roots run deep in the national movement—part of a community-based network that has been saving lives, strengthening families, and changing hearts, minds, and laws since 1972. What sets PFLAG Tampa apart is its commitment to operating independently from political parties and religious institutions, creating truly neutral ground where all are welcome. The organization recognizes that reaching our full potential as human beings requires collective action grounded in acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Members of PFLAG Tampa actively shape their community through grassroots initiatives like nominating iconic local LGBTQIA+ persons and places for recognition, and supporting creative projects like the Pride Mural Installation campaign. This is more than an organization—it's a movement of people who believe that love transcends labels and that every person deserves to live authentically. By joining PFLAG Tampa in the greater Tampa Bay area, individuals become part of a national community of over 200,000 members and supporters dedicated to building a more inclusive world where LGBTQ+ people and their families thrive.
