Who are FFLAG?
Who we are
FFLAG is a national voluntary organisation and registered charity. FFLAG supports the full human and civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary individuals.
We offer support to local parents groups and contacts in their efforts to help parents and families understand, accept and support their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary members with love and pride. FFLAG volunteers are parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans children supported by other volunteers.
These young people and their families face serious homophobia and transphobia in our society, which brings in its wake prejudice, bullying and alienation.
What we do
We provide a central point for exchange of information between parents groups and local parent contacts.
FFLAG supports the full human and civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
FFLAG speaks out and acts to defend and enhance those human and civil rights.
We offer information through our publications which we make available by post and online
