Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays promote the equality and wellbeing of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons, their families and friends through:

· Support to cope with an adverse society

· Education to enlighten an ill-informed public

· Advocacy to end discrimination and 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. Keeping families together is the mission of PFLAG. Our family values stress education, understanding, acceptance, and support, but most of all love, thereby empowering our children — straight and gay — to lead happy and productive lives.

Bull Run Unitarian Universalists is a diverse, welcoming congregation of freely chosen faith. We are a safe place for people of many beliefs to stand in awe of the wonders this world has to offer and to challenge ourselves to make it a better place, one small act of compassion at a time.
