About Our Mission of Support, Education, and Advocacy 


We offer support through our monthly meetings. We welcome LGBTQ+ people, their families, and their friends. You’ll find compassionate, loving people sharing their stories and resources.

We seek to promote understanding of LGBTQ+ topics and issues. We share our stories and resources with libraries, churches, health centers, schools, community organizations, and businesses. Contact us for speakers, resources, and discussions.

We advocate for equal rights and safe communities. As issues arise, we talk with local and national officials, write letters, and work towards creating a better world.


About Us
We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization in Akron, Ohio. We are part of a national community of over 400 PFLAG chapters.

Our chapter began in 1981 through the efforts of a supportive Akron mother and a gay professor at Kent State University. 

We are families, friends, allies, and LGBTQ people united together and committed to advancing equality through peer support, education, and advocacy.
