About us
Bellevue PFLAG exists to provide support, education, and advocacy for
family, friends, and members of the GLBT community in Seattle's
Eastside area. We work closely with
Seattle PFLAG to serve the greater Puget Sound region.
We are a volunteer organization, made up of ordinary people brought
together by our shared experiences and concerns. We know what it's like
when you know someone who's coming out; we've been there ourselves.
We are a chapter of the
national PFLAG organization.
Together with our sister chapters across the country, and our 200,000
fellow members, we work to further PFLAG's vision and mission.
Our Vision
We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgendered 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.
Our Mission
PFLAG promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgendered 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.
