The Greater Providence Chapter was founded in 1998. The chapter serves as a life-line to hundreds of parents and families, guiding them through the journey to understand their LGBTQ children and other family members and eventually come to full acceptance of the gift they are to their families.
We are the Greater Providence area chapter of PFLAG, formerly known as Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. We provide support, education and advocacy for parents, families, friends and allies of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people across Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut.
PFLAG, formerly known as "Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays," is a national support, education and advocacy organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and genderqueer or non-conforming (LGBTQ) people, their families, friends and allies. With 200,000 members and supporters and local affiliates in more than 500 communities across the United States and abroad, PFLAG is the largest grassroots-based family organization of its kind. PFLAG is a non-profit organization and is not affiliated with any religious or political institutions.
