Family Support Community support spells the difference between a well-adjusted LGBT human being and a struggling one. Our monthly support meetings provide a safe, loving, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for the parents, family, and friends of LGBT people as well as members of the LGBT community and those who wish to learn more about them. Currently, we host one or two meetings every month, virtually through Zoom. When pandemic restrictions are lifted, we will resume our three meetings in person* (New Orleans, Metairie, and Northshore) and will also hold a zoom meeting for those unable to attend in person. The PFLAG Student Scholarship Program LGBT students are particularly vulnerable while transitioning into higher education. Celebrating our 500th scholarship recipient this past year, PFLAG tracks hundreds of former students who live full, happy and "out" lives today because of the boost we gave them as students. Each year, we review 40-50 new applicants and rate them on rigorous criteria. It is a universal truth that for many of these struggling students, it's the community support and "vote of confidence" that makes more of a difference than the scholarship
