Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) is a national organization that aims to support LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. The Jacksonville Chapter of PFLAG operates within this framework, providing a local community for individuals to share experiences, seek support, and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. The chapter focuses on education, advocacy, and support for families and friends of LGBTQ+ individuals, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can feel safe and accepted.

Founded in the early 2000s, PFLAG Jacksonville has grown to become an essential resource for families and friends of LGBTQ+ individuals in the area. The chapter hosts regular meetings, events, and workshops aimed at educating the public and providing a supportive network for those affected by LGBTQ+ issues. Through collaboration with local organizations and participation in community events, PFLAG Jacksonville continues to work towards a more inclusive society for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
