PFLAG Rockford represents a compassionate community of parents, families, and allies united in support of LGBTQ+ individuals in the Rockford, Illinois area. As part of a movement that began as the first organization of its kind, PFLAG has grown to become the largest network supporting LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones, with a presence in major cities, small towns, and rural communities across America. The Rockford chapter embodies PFLAG's core vision: a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed for who they are, including their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Built on a foundation of loving families standing together, PFLAG Rockford's mission centers on education and advocacy—helping community members understand and support LGBTQ+ individuals while speaking up for change in hearts and minds everywhere. The organization brings together multiple generations of families who have experienced their own journeys of acceptance and understanding, creating a supportive space where people can share experiences, find belonging, and learn from one another. Volunteers dedicate themselves to providing information, resources, and emotional support while maintaining strict confidentiality for all who reach out. By joining PFLAG Rockford, members become part of a broader movement spanning nearly 400 chapters nationwide, united by the belief that families thrive when all members are fully accepted and celebrated.
