Since 2001, PFLAG Genesee County has been a cornerstone of support for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families throughout Flint, Michigan. The organization's name reflects its core mission: Parents, Families, Friends and Allies working together with GLBT people to move equality forward. What began as a local initiative has grown into part of a powerful national movement, with the Genesee County chapter contributing to PFLAG's status as the largest grassroots-based family organization of its kind. The Flint chapter understands that acceptance and support begin at home, and they're committed to helping families navigate their journeys with compassion and understanding. Built on values of accountability and transparent communication, PFLAG Genesee County creates safe spaces where people can connect, learn, and advocate together for meaningful change. The chapter's work extends beyond individual support to systemic advocacy, fighting against harmful policies and working to ensure that LGBTQ+ youth and adults are protected and celebrated. Members of the Flint community—whether parents seeking to understand their children, friends wanting to be better allies, or LGBTQ+ individuals themselves—find a welcoming home at PFLAG Genesee County. As an independent, non-profit organization unaffiliated with any religious or political institutions, the chapter maintains its focus on what matters most: building a world where every person can live authentically and be fully accepted. The organization's commitment to the Flint area demonstrates that meaningful, lasting change happens when communities come together with compassion and determination.
