PFLAG Ithaca Cortland

PFLAG Ithaca Cortland is the local chapter of PFLAG, the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ people and those who love them. Serving central New York from Cortland, NY, this affiliate organization provides comprehensive resources and programming designed to create positive change in communities through dialogue, education, and advocacy. The organization offers a welcoming space for gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals, along with their families and friends, fostering meaningful conversations about sexual orientation and gender identity. PFLAG Ithaca Cortland maintains a lending library stocked with books, pamphlets, and educational materials covering topics including sexuality, parenting, coming out, and religion—all available to community members at regular meetings. Additionally, the organization operates a speakers group composed of volunteers willing to visit schools, colleges, and community organizations to share personal perspectives and educate the public about LGBTQ families and issues. Monthly meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month, providing consistent opportunities for connection and learning. By combining support services with educational outreach and civil rights advocacy, PFLAG Ithaca Cortland works to end discrimination and secure equal rights for LGBTQ individuals and their loved ones throughout the Cortland and central New York region.
