PFLAG
holds Monthly Support Group Meetings in Rochester
The
Rochester Chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of
Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) is a local organization that
promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgendered (GLBT) individuals, their families
and friends. We provide an opportunity for dialogue
about sexual orientation, and work to create a society
that is respectful of human diversity.

PFLAG's
primary goal is to provide a supportive place where
parents with GLBT children can start their road to understanding,
acceptance and celebration, but all who are dealing
with GLBT issues are welcome. GLBT children who are
in the process of coming out find PFLAG a very comfortable
place, and can help parents who often find it easier
to listen to the feelings of someone else's GLBT child
rather than their own.
Another
one of our goals is to reach out into the community
to raise awareness of the difficulties facing our sons
and daughters. PFLAG parents are available to speak
at area schools, colleges and other events. By doing
this, we are working for equal - not special - rights
for all.
