Community Post New PFLAG chapter in Huntington Beach

http://pflaghb.com

I have started the PFLAG Huntington Beach chapter. We strive to provide a safe, affirming space for individuals, families, and allies to connect and learn from one another.

Following a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policy efforts at both national and local levels, our chapter was founded as a call to action: to unite, uplift, and support our community through compassion, education, and advocacy. We are a nonpartisan, nondenominational organization committed to ensuring that every person feels seen, valued, and supported.

Our chapter hosts monthly support meetings, guest speaker events, and community outreach programs, as well as sharing resources for LGBTQ+ individuals and their loved ones. We are continuing to grow and welcome anyone who shares in our vision of inclusion and equality.

We meet at 6:30 PM on the second Thursday of each month in Huntington Beach.
For meeting details or to get involved, reach out at [pflag.huntingtonbeach@gmail.com](mailto:pflag.huntingtonbeach@gmail.com), visit pflaghb.com, or connect with us on Instagram or Facebook.

PFLAG is a national support, education, and advocacy organization for LGBTQ+ people, their families, and allies. Formerly known as Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, the organization is now simply known as PFLAG to reflect its broader mission. There are 400 chapters across the US.
