Support for PFLAG Denver and its Scholarship Fund is a powerful, transformative way to stand up in support of the LGBTQ+ community as an ally and a friend. By meeting people where they are and collaborating with others, PFLAG Denver realizes its vision through:
- Support for families, allies, and people who are LGBTQIA+
- Education for ourselves and others about the unique issues and challenges facing people who are LGBTQIA+
- Advocacy in our communities to change attitudes and create policies and laws that achieve full equality for people who are LGBTQIA+
PFLAG Denver was founded in 1980 when several parents whose children had come out to them as gay or lesbian and met to share their concerns. More than four decades later we have been a constant in the community and successful in achieving its mission by the dramatic improvement in societal attitudes toward and understanding of LGBTQ+ people.
