We accomplish this through support, education, and advocacy. We offer:

LGBTQIA+ Education in Tulsa
Support and Education
If your child just identified themselves as LGBTQIA+, or are questioning their sexuality, you no doubt have questions. PFLAG can offer you a support group or direct you to services that might be helpful to you.
Family support has been linked to helping with your child’s physical and mental health, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and feel free to explore the other resources listed on our site.
Support groups are safe and welcoming spaces where you can meet with other parents and caregivers who are also supporting LGBTQIA+ family members and friends. These groups meet once a month, are hosted by trained volunteers (most of whom are parents themselves) and are filled with people who can offer support, answer questions, and link you to resources.

LGBTQIA+ Advocates in Tulsa
Securing respect, dignity, acceptance, and protection for LGBTQIA+ people often requires passing or change laws & policies. This may be in the workplace, the city, county, or state government, public schools or places of worship. Many times this will require engaging the organizations and various audiences in dialogue. Our work in advocacy is first and foremost to educate the public about the disproportionate rates of harm and discrimination LGBTQIA+ people face. PFLAG Tulsa has worked tirelessly to change policies at the city and state level. PFLAG Tulsa has worked with public schools to update their policies that relate to discrimination of teachers and students. PFLAG Tulsa has supported legislation at the state level for funding of HIV/AIDS medications and
anti-bulling. PFLAG Tulsa has worked for the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the Hate Crime Laws.
