About Us
PFLAG Bellingham/Whatcom is one of 400 chapters of the national
organization, PFLAG. Founded in 1973, PFLAG was created to build
support for the LGBTQ+ community and their families, friends and allies. We are a unique organization because we build bridges between the queer community and the straight community. Our mission is to offer advocacy, education and support to the LGBTQ+ community and their family, friends and allies. We believe in leading with love.
