PFLAG recently commissioned a strategy session in which 50 participants shared their perceptions of PFLAG and current GLBTI issues core to the organisation.
A key finding was that parents needed more support in understanding and supporting their LGBTI children. Other findings included:
- Face to face peer support groups: More effective support for family and friends of LGBTI individuals needed.
- Safe & Accessible Counselling: More counseling for parents and LGBTI individuals wanted.
- Same Sex Marriage: More information around discrimination and the legalities surrounding same sex relationships wanted.
- Visibility: More visibility of GLBTI issues needed in the community needed.
- Transgender Support: More counseling specifically targeted at transsexual and intersex people needed.
