If someone has 'come out' to you, and you are not sure about your feelings, your response, or how to best support your friend/family, please REACH OUT TO PFLAG! Our Portland Maine chapter meets virtually every month (next meeting November 10) but if you cannot wait or just want to talk one-on-one, please email us through our website and we will get back to you in a few days. PFLAG has chapters all across the country. Whatever you may do or feel, please remember to LEAD WITH LOVE!

happy national coming out day 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

the visibility and community we have today exists because of the people who came out before us, and we have a responsibility to keep building a world where coming out no longer comes at a risk of losing family, housing, jobs, or anything else.

whether you always knew or you’re still figuring it out, your identity is yours to define on your own terms, at your own time. 💖

With the 2026 election fast approaching, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and strategize about how to be the most effective and impactful advocates for our LGBTQ+ loved ones.

Join PFLAG National’s Advocacy team on September 23 at 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT to learn about the power of relational organizing—the mobilization of friends, neighbors, family members, and others we already interact with—and how to integrate this approach into our advocacy efforts. Attendees will also explore our new PFLAG Votes Together toolkit, examine our circles of influence, and take direct action with our partners at Red W**e & Blue.
