ABOUT

​MISSION AND HISTORY

PFLAG Jersey City was founded by a small group of Jersey City parents of gay children. We've seen firsthand the pain of intolerance when our children were mocked or bullied; our goal is to ensure that other kids don't have the same experience. 

​

How do we do that? Education is one way. Children who live in a diverse, inclusive society, learn to be tolerant. If they have good role models, they learn to be good citizens. 

​

Supporting parents is an equally important part of our work. When a child comes out to his/her parents, sometimes the parents struggle to talk openly with their friends, colleagues, and family members about it.  "When your child comes out, you come out too." 

​

We advocate on behalf of the gay community. Sometimes that means speaking at a business, sometimes it's helping a child talk to a teacher, sometimes it's learning more about laws that affect the gay community. We here at PFLAG Jersey City believe strongly in our role as allies

​

Our chapter meets once a month to share stories and resources, so everyone knows someone is on their side, someone else has been through a similar experience. 

​

If you can't make it to a meeting, call or email us, and we'll provide support in whatever way that we can!
