listen. share. connect.

Our Programs are a safe space where members of the LGBTQ2IA+ community, their friends, family or allies can come together. We offer two different programs: Coffee Night Support Meetings and Pflag YR Socials. Our Coffee Night Support Meetings is a place to seek support if you have questions or concerns about sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, or navigating other challenges.

Our Pflag YR Socials offer different themes and experiences every month as you connect with and meet Parents, allies, and LGBTQ2IA+ community members. Our themes include: Art, Film, Games Nights, Trivia Nights, and much more!

ScapeGOAT Documentary

We are thrilled to announce a new documentary, in partnership with D.F.F. productions: ScapeGOAT.

We believe scapegoating has two victims, the people being scapegoated and the people who are led to believe the lies. Recent years has seen a rise in anti-trans rhetoric from the far-right. To better promote and espouse this discriminatory rhetoric, these groups seek to create and exploit channels of misinformation with dangerous and often inflammatory and devastating results.

Trans Affirming Lawn Signs

& New Workshop: Challenging Queer Disinformation

There is a resurgence of anti-lgbtq+ sentiment across the country targeting our transgender and gender diverse community. Decades ago, our community and allies mobilized at a moment’s notice to meet the moment. Decades later, we must mobilize again and show our support at every opportunity. pflag York Region has led the charge, partnering with our national team on a lawn sign campaign featuring trans-affirming messaging. Visit the link below to reserve your lawn sign today!

 

New this Spring, pflag York Region is offering a new workshop as we work to #TransformTheNarritive. Challenging Queer Disinformation’s for everyone. Visit our Workshops Page for more details.
