Founded in April 1996 by parents in the Bellevue area who wanted to help their children and connect with like-minded families, PFLAG Bellevue Eastside has grown into a vital community resource grounded in the principle of Leading With Love. Our chapter emerged from the same spirit that started PFLAG National—a mother's unconditional love for her gay son and belief in his right to equality—and we carry that legacy forward in serving East King County communities. We are a grassroots network of dedicated volunteers who believe that change is possible because we see it happen every day. PFLAG Bellevue Eastside serves as often the first place people turn when they or someone they love has just come out or is questioning their sexuality and gender identity. But we are also a place of ongoing connection and affirmation for LGBTQ people, families, and allies who want to be part of a community working toward equality. We have no affiliation with any political party or religion, and we uphold respectful dialogue to engage and persuade people. We trust in the power of our stories to open hearts and minds. Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been a long-standing ally of the LGBTQ community, PFLAG Bellevue Eastside welcomes you. Our chapter maintains monthly support meetings, organizes community events and parades, and continues to build bridges with others at different points on their journey toward understanding and acceptance.
