Support, Education and Advocacy

PFLAG was founded in 1973 by Jeanne Manford, who had marched the previous year with her son Morty in the New York Christopher Street Liberation Day March. PFLAG now has hundreds of chapters across the United States and in other countries. PFLAG is working to make sure that all people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer are not only valued by society, but take pride in and value themselves. We do this through providing peer-to-peer support, educating people on the issues that are important to the community, and advocating for inclusive policies and laws.

PFLAG Tulare & Kings Counties was founded in 2008, during the campaign against Prop 8, our first advocacy issue. We provide support and education at our monthly program meetings on the third Sunday of each month at 3 pm, as well as support at our Support & Schmooze Zoom meetings on the second Sunday of each month from 7 to 8:30 pm. Individual support in person or online can be provided to LGBTQIA+ people, their families, friends and allies.  All of our meetings are open to the public, family friendly, and free of charge.

PFLAG is a nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any political or religious institution.

  • Mission Statement

    Our Vision

    PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

    Our Mission

    Our mission is to build on a foundation of loving families united with LGBTQ people and allies who support one another, and to educate ourselves and our communities to speak up as advocates until all hearts and minds respect, value and affirm LGBTQ people.

We recommend that attendees be fully vaccinated, including a booster dose if eligible. We also recommend masks to protect each other, understanding that although the vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalization and death, they diminish but do not completely prevent transmission.
