We,the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons,

celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of

diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Only with respect, dignity and equality

for all will we reach our full potential as human beings, individually and collectively.

PFLAG welcomes the participation and support of all who share in, and hope to realize

this vision.
