Our Vision and Mission
PFLAG is creating a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. We envision a world where intersectional diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual development (intersex variation), sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
Our local PFLAG Athens Area group meets monthly–to talk, support each other, support our family members, and advocate for them and other queer people in Athens and surrounding counties. For more about PFLAG national, click here.
