Exploring Identity & Allyship

Gain an understanding of LGBTQ+ terminology and learn how to be an ally. Presentation by PFLAG. Signup required.

PFLAG Tinley Park was formed in the fall of 2015. PFLAG Tinley Park's mission is to promote the health and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones through support, education, and advocacy. PFLAG is the US's oldest LGBTQ+ support, education, and advocacy parent group.

Although we are not counselors, we are here to support one another and offer an opportunity to dialogue and help to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity. Any information that individuals reveal about themselves or their family is honored with strict confidentiality. PFLAG Tinley Park is committed to trust and respect all persons.

We are proud to have become a place for the loved ones of LGBTQ+people and LGBTQ+ people themselves to find resources, advocates, and acceptance. We've made lasting connections to people and organizations in our community and recently joined the Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce. Our outreach includes local school resource fairs, presentations at libraries and forest preserve districts, tabling at pride events, and decorating a tree every year at the Oak Park Avenue Metra train station.

PFLAG Tinley Park is creating a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.
