PFLAG Vancouver

About PFLAG Vancouver

Since PFLAG National's founding in 1973, the movement has grown into the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. PFLAG Vancouver represents this legacy of compassionate activism in the southwestern Washington community, bringing together families, friends, allies, and LGBTQ+ individuals united by a commitment to equality and human dignity. The chapter's mission centers on building loving communities where families stand together with LGBTQ+ people, educating themselves and their neighbors, and speaking up as advocates until all hearts and minds respect and affirm LGBTQ+ identities. Operating in Vancouver, WA, PFLAG Vancouver embodies the organization's core belief that diverse families and communities thrive when they embrace sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression as natural aspects of human diversity. Members participate in a powerful grassroots movement of volunteers who understand that advocacy begins at home—with families supporting their loved ones and extending that circle of acceptance outward to transform communities. The chapter provides a sanctuary for those navigating complex family dynamics, coming-out experiences, and the journey toward self-acceptance. By connecting people across differences and fostering genuine relationships rooted in respect and love, PFLAG Vancouver contributes to a broader cultural shift toward inclusion and equality. The organization recognizes that real change happens when families become advocates, when allies use their voices, and when communities celebrate rather than condemn LGBTQ+ people.
