You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to show up with love.

When a loved one comes out, reactions vary, from “Now that I know, what can I do to support my child?” to “How will I ever handle this?” For some people, it’s a combination of these two reactions…and more. There is no doubt that people have different and potentially complex responses and feelings to a loved one coming out…and this is absolutely normal.

PFLAG San Francisco is here to help you learn, connect, and grow alongside your LGBTQ+ child, friend, or family member.

Monthly Parent & Family Support Group

Our Monthly Support Group brings together parents, caregivers, LGBTQ+ people, and allies in a professionally facilitated, confidential setting. Whether you’re celebrating your child’s courage or navigating uncertainty, you’ll find compassion and understanding here.

Many parents tell us this is the first place they felt safe admitting they were scared… and the first place they felt hopeful again.

You’re not the first parent to feel this way

Watch a few video stories from parents and members who once felt overwhelmed, confused, or afraid, and who chose to keep showing up for their children. We continue to keep learning, listening, and choosing love.

When you’re ready, there’s a place for you

Some parents start by listening. Others want to give back once they feel steadier. However you engage, you’re welcome here.
