PFLAG Pendleton

PFLAG Pendleton is the local chapter of the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and their families. Based in Pendleton, OR, the chapter provides comprehensive support services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals, their parents, families, and allies navigating the coming-out process and related family transitions.

Since its founding, PFLAG Pendleton has evolved to address the complex stressors faced by GLBTQ families and friends in today's social and political environment. The organization operates as part of a national network with nearly 400 chapters and 250,000 members spanning major urban centers, small cities, and rural areas across America. This extensive network enables PFLAG Pendleton to connect local families with resources, peer support, and community advocacy opportunities.

The chapter's core services include peer support groups for parents and families, educational resources about sexual orientation and gender identity, and community advocacy initiatives. PFLAG Pendleton is committed to building a foundation of loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another. Through transparent communication and accountability, the organization educates itself and the broader Pendleton community to foster environments where all people are respected, valued, and affirmed in their authentic identities.
