PFLAG

Virtual Meetings for Shared Experiences
PFLAG Connects: Communities (PCC) provide a safe, virtual, moderated space where people with shared experiences can connect each month. PFLAG National’s current communities gather people of Latino, Black/African American, Asian American and Pacific Islander backgrounds—as well as military families (in partnership with our friends at the Modern Military Association of America [MMAA]), families with gender-diverse loved ones, and grandparents—to gain support, ask questions, and learn from others who have been through similar experiences. These meetings cater primarily to family members of LGBTQ+ people, and also welcome members of the LGBTQ+ community.

• LGBTQ+ Glossary

• Faith-based Support

• Our Children

• Supporting Your LGBTQ+ Grandchild

• At Ease: Support for Military Families with LGBTQ+ Children and Teens

Lavender Rights Project

Lavender Rights Project (LRP) elevates the power, autonomy, and leadership of the Black intersex & gender diverse community through intersectional legal and social services. They utilize the law as an organizing principle to affirm civil rights and self-determination. The organization disrupts oppressive systems that target Black gender diverse and intersex communities of color and lead to disproportionate levels of poverty, housing disparities, and gender-based violence, especially among Black and Indigenous people. 

Entre Hermanos

Enter Hermanos promotes the health and well-being of the Latino Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and questioning community in a culturally appropriate environment through disease prevention, education, support services, advocacy and community building.

Noor

Noor is an all-inclusive LGBTQI and Questioning confidential meeting space for individuals in the greater Seattle area who have ever identified as Muslim.
