Who Are We?
We are PFLAG Tyler/East Texas, a vibrant and supportive chapter of the nationwide PFLAG network.

Our Unique Touch
What makes us special? We're more than just an LGBTQIA+ group. We're a family of diverse individuals that includes not only members of the LGBTQIA+ community but also their parents, families, and friends. We understand the power of community support in nurturing acceptance, understanding, and love.

Support at Every Step
Everyone's journey is unique, and we're here to meet you wherever you are on yours. Whether you're taking your first steps towards understanding, seeking support, or looking to offer a helping hand, you've found your tribe with us.

Learn, Share, Grow
We offer a safe space to learn, share experiences, and grow together. Our meetings and events are designed to empower, educate, and connect us all. From informative workshops to heartwarming gatherings, there's always something happening here.

For Friends, Families, and Allies
If you're a parent, family member, or friend of someone in the LGBTQIA+ community, we're here for you too. Discover resources, gain insights, and join a network of allies who share your journey.

Spread the Word
Help us grow! Share this post, invite friends, and let's build a stronger, more inclusive community together. Your voice matters, and together, our voices are powerful.

We Want to Hear from You!
