PFLAG Charlotte - Creating a Safe and Inclusive Community

Welcome to PFLAG Charlotte, an essential support and advocacy group dedicated to fostering acceptance, education, and inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families in the Greater Carolinas Women's Center community. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming space where everyone can express themselves freely, without fear of discrimination or prejudice. Join us in our efforts to build a more diverse and understanding society where love and respect for all is valued.

Understanding PFLAG

PFLAG, which stands for Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, is a national organization that offers support, education, and resources to individuals who have LGBTQ+ loved ones. PFLAG Charlotte is an affiliate chapter of this inspiring network, dedicated to serving the local community.

Our primary goal is to provide a nurturing environment where LGBTQ+ individuals and their families can find support, guidance, and information throughout their journey. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or as an ally, our community welcomes you with open arms.

Our Services

PFLAG Charlotte offers a wide range of services to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community and their families receive the support they need. These services include:

• Support Meetings: Our regular support meetings provide a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. During these meetings, attendees have the opportunity to connect with others, seek advice, and receive encouragement from a community that understands and embraces them.
• Education Workshops: We believe in the power of education to foster acceptance and understanding. PFLAG Charlotte conducts workshops and seminars to provide the community with valuable insights into LGBTQ+ issues, including legal rights, health matters, and navigating relationships.
• Advocacy Initiatives: We actively engage in local advocacy efforts to promote equality and secure legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. By collaborating with other organizations and participating in events, we work towards creating a society that celebrates and respects diversity.
• Family Support: Recognizing that families play a crucial role in an individual's journey, we offer support and resources to parents, siblings, and other family members seeking guidance and understanding. Through workshops, counseling, and shared experiences, we aim to foster stronger family relationships and bridge gaps in communication.
• Community Outreach: PFLAG Charlotte believes in fostering connections and raising awareness within the broader community. We organize events, attend pride festivals, and collaborate with schools and businesses to promote inclusivity and challenge stereotypes.
