At the current time, all PFLAG NYC meetings are taking place virtually. Even on Zoom, our community is continuing to support one another, share information, and find solidarity.
We look forward to the day that we can return to having in-person meetings, but meeting online has given us the flexibility to expand the range of groups we offer and explore different schedules. Check out the calendar below and find the group that’s right for you.
If you have any questions about the group that is the best fit for you, please email us at info@pflagnyc.org or call our support coordinator at 646-809-4099.

The theme for this month will be "lead with the wisdom of your heart." Elders give children the promise of community, continuity, and consciousness of self. They are the spiritual guides that keep culture and personal history alive in the hearts of the young. They nurture the love and understanding that can then withstand the difficulties and appreciate the beauty of our shared walk through life. We love and cherish our grandchildren and may be the most accepting because so many unimportant things are of no concern to us anymore compared to our precious children. If you identify as a grandparent or an intergenerational influence in the life of an LGBTQ+ person join us for the launch of our Loving Elders Support Group. We’ll meet the first Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET. Learn more and register.

Join our community to meet understanding friends, share information and resources, and get support as we strive to show up and advocate for our kiddos to be their most authentic selves. *This group will be facilitated in English but one of our regular facilitators is also fluent in Spanish.

Online registration for this new group is not yet set up on the PFLAGNYC website, so to sign up and receive a reminder email with Zoom link please email SOGItweens@gmail.com and include your name, the child's age and […]
