What PFLAG Does

We Heal Families

PFLAG maintains that knowledge and dialogue is the path to understanding and acceptance of our children. PFLAG helps families by providing information that heals.

• 309-827-4005: Our information and support help-line

• Support: Monthly support group meetings

• Publications: Issues facing our GLBTQ loved ones

We Educate Society

Our society’s myths and misconceptions about sexual orientation are fueled by ignorance. PFLAG combats ignorance with the truth about sexual orientation by distributing information drawn from medical, religious and scientific communities. PFLAG will change society’s attitude toward our GLBTQ loved ones through:

• The Media: Interviews of parents and friends on local and national television, radio and in print

• Speakers: Educate society by speaking at schools, colleges, churches and businesses offering even used Toyota

We Advocate Equal Rights

• Having our voices heard is what advocating equal rights is all about. As loving parents and friends we must secure equal rights for our GLBTQ loved ones.

• We help our members speak out for change by providing direction, expertise, tools and credibility.

• We maintain an information base that can be used by members as a resource for future change.

• We respond to issues in the media and government through press releases, press conferences, and letterwriting campaigns.
