Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian and bisexual persons, their families, and friends, through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public; and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights. PFLAG provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.

We celebrate real family values. Families come in all shapes and sizes, but all families share one thing - unconditional acceptance and support for their loved ones. Hate is not a family value.

We advocate equal rights-not special rights-for your gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered loved ones. The most productive way to effect change is through public advocacy.

Members work to support local, state and national legislation designed to assure the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons.

We educate society about misconceptions and introduce the reality of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people-they have families and friends that love and support them in every way.

Central Dakota PFLAG has a wide variety of pamphlets and other materials available for free distribution, as well as many books and tapes which may be checked out. We provide educational information based on educational research, religious teachings, and personal experiences. We have speakers who will speak to individuals, communities, religious institutions, schools, businesses, and government at all levels.

We meet on the fourth Monday of every month, except May and December, at 7:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 2nd Street and Thayer Avenue. Please use the entrance across from the Drumstick Cafe.

Our Meetings begin with two rap sessions-one for family members and friends and one for members of the community.  This is a time which allows us to share our thoughts and feelings, or just listen to others, in a safe and confidential atmosphere.  A brief business meeting is followed by a program with a speaker or video of general interest to the membership. 

We welcome gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people as well as their families and friends.

We, the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered 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.
