Healing LGBTQ+ Families in the Bay Area
For nearly five decades, PFLAG San Francisco has helped parents, families, and friends understand, support, and advocate for their LGBTQ+ loved ones. We offer a free monthly support group on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
Our Mission
Whether you are looking for an LGBTQ support group, guidance for supporting a transgender or nonbinary loved one, or reliable information about gender identity and sexual orientation, we are here to help.
Support begins with connection. And connection begins here.
Our monthly LGBTQ+ support group welcomes parents, caregivers, LGBTQ+ individuals, and allies seeking connection and guidance. We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 7-9 PM. All meetings are virtual.
We offer educational resources for parents and families, as well as resources about gender identity, sexual orientation, and LGBTQ terminology.
Along with community events we also host a speaker series that brings nationally recognized experts, providing our community with information and inspiration.
All EventsWe advocate to protect our LGBTQ+ loved ones rights both locally and nationally.
Take ActionWhether you’re a parent, ally, or educator, we’ve curated guides to help you learn and advocate.

Trans students are living through a policy moment that keeps shifting under their feet, and schools are often stuck in the middle. Dr. sj Miller — educator, author, and a longtime voice in trans-affirming education — joins us to talk about what's actually happening in classrooms, what families are running into, and what's working when people push back. Bring your questions. We'll leave room for discussion.
When families need clarity and connection, we show up. Because of our community:
Increase in support group attendance
Increase in membership
Hours spent in direct community support
