About PFLAG Lawrence - Topeka
PFLAG Lawrence/Topeka is a small chapter. We are interested in issues relating to LGBT persons, their families and friends, through support, education and advocacy. We meet occasionally for community events, social and educational gatherings. We have information for parents , families and friends, and for LGBT persons from the National PFLAG Organization that we can mail to your home.
Parents Families and FriendsParents of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) – the nation’s largest family-based group of its kind – began in 1972, when a courageous mother marched with her gay son in New York City’s gay pride parade. Her single voice that called on society to treat all of its citizens equally and with dignity sparked a national movement. Since then, tens of thousands of ordinary Americans have joined forces in PFLAG.
With its unique family voice and grassroots network of more than 500 affiliates, PFLAG is creating a safe and just world in ways no one else can.
We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Only with respect, dignity and equality for all will we reach our full potential as human beings, individually and collectively. PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of all who share in, and hope to realize this vision.
PFLAG promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons, their families and friends through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public; and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights. Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.
