Mission Statement:
We are a Catholic ministry that supports our LGBTQ+ community and their families by sharing our personal stories and by promoting equality and in-

to silence us. We refuse to be silenced and will continue our ministry in the Archdiocese.

How We Help:
We are several types of people! We are a group of parents that believe in
our kids. When our children came to us and told us they were Gay, Lesbian,
Bi-sexual, or Trans Transgender, we became confused and disillusioned
between what we were led to believe and the reality of it all. "That's not my
kid!" could be heard across city borders. We knew our hearts that our child-
ren in were not what we were taught. A group of parents got together, to tell
the stories of their children and found loving support and education. Then
the search went out to find other parents in similar situations. PFLAG Detroit
was formed.
- We are an extended family of the GLBT community
- We are GLBT individuals or family members looking for support
