Pflag Long Island is made up of parents like you who love your LGBTQ child, and want to support them.
We conduct interesting monthly meetings in convenient Nassau and Suffolk County locations where parents who have been through the “coming out” process and who have experienced similar feelings and concerns, will help guide you to a better understanding of your LGBT child and place you on a path towards courage and acceptance.
Our speakers have included Mathew Shurka, Co leader for #BornPerfect and Nathan Schaefer-Exec Director Empire State pride Agenda. Mathew Shurka was a pioneer in starting “#BornPerfect” and advocates for the elimination of “conversion therapy.”
We also heard from ZACH WAHLS, Entrepreneur and Author of “My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength and What Makes a Family,” an American son of two lesbians and an activist for LGBTQ rights.
The impact of the PFLAG long Island voices, and more importantly your presence at a PFLAG Long Island meeting, play a necessary role in our progress and the strength of the organization.
It is the combination of the PFLAG chapters that help work towards eliminating discrimination and ultimately makes the lives of your LGBTQ children happier and promises them a more fulfilling future.
We invite all family members, siblings & LGBTQ people to join us at our monthly meetings. Additionally, we encourage parents to bring their children and so that they will have an opportunity to hear other parents talk about specific challenges and concerns.
Our Transparentsy group has now become a staple of our meetings and we anticipate a strong turnout of parents who have transgender children and are looking for further support in guiding their children properly plus we answer specific questions about transgender organizations and other services.
Our support meetings will also include discussions of family and the fostering of acceptance within the home. They are a place where you can talk confidentially and openly, ask questions, exchange information and talk about resolving problems particular to your LGBTQ child.
