Who We Are
PFLAG Edwardsville is currently the only PFLAG chapter in Southern Illinois. We work with PFLAG Greater St. Louis, as well as small towns throughout the St. Louis Metro East area and beyond. Our mission is to create a culture of love and acceptance for all and especially the LGBTQ+ community, through representation, advocacy, education and love.
