IMPORTANT – Due to COVID-19, in-person Support Meetings have been canceled until further notice.

We are now hosting a monthly online Virtual Support Meeting via Video Conferencing. Also, don’t miss our Annual Meeting on September 22nd, which will also be virtual this year. We recommend you join from a smartphone or computer, so you can view our live presentation. Check out our Calendar for details.


Are you or is someone in your life LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning or pansexual)?

We hold multiple free monthly support meetings in the Greater Orlando area that provides a safe and confidential place to talk, listen and get support, for parents/families and allies who are dealing with “coming out” or the reality of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

PFLAG is here to help provide ongoing support, education, and advocacy to all Central Floridians.
