Toronto Pflag’s mission is clear: Keeping families together by promoting the health and well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ people and families through support, education, community, and advocacy.

We promote the health and well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ people by advocating for gender-affirming care, including timely, equitable access to that care for the entire community. This aligns with guidance from all major medical organizations, such as the Canadian Paediatric Society.

We are unequivocal in affirming our transgender community in all of the glorious, joyful, and diverse identities and expressions they bring to our lives.

We staunchly support and stand with our community’s families, regardless of their make-up or where they are in this journey.

We do not agree with the Vatican’s statements, which directly contradict Toronto Pflag’s mission and values.

To our transgender friends, families, and loved ones: We see you, we love you, and we will not stop fighting for you.

Happy Pride Month from all our Toronto Pflag families and volunteers!

You can tell that Pride 2023 is going to be loud and proud with our Pflag families and volunteers readying our rainbows and preparing to share rainbow love, far and wide throughout the entire month of June.

Throughout February, Black History Month is a great time to celebrate and reflect on the ways Black artists, icons, and historical figures have contributed to art, culture and history.

Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and James Baldwin, and we can’t wait to learn more.    You can follow along with …

Many Canadians, including those with Jewish ancestry or connections, observe the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th.  It commemorates the lives and heroism of Jewish people who died in the Holocaust between 1933 and 1945. While the majority of the Holocaust victims were Jews,  many minority groups were targeted as well.

The Nazis persecuted those they considered to be racially inferior. While Nazis viewed Jews as racial enemies and subjected them to arbitrary arrest, internment, and murder, their racial ideology also targeted the LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses and

After two years of Pride over Zoom, in 2022 we are returning to In-Person events this year, and it's a great time to remember why Pride continues to matter, and why it’s important to gather each year. Not only is Pride a colourful celebration of diverse sexualities and genders, it's also a festival that promotes self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility for LGBTQ2S+ individuals to live Out and Proud, as their authentic selves.

October 11th is National Coming Out Day. What started out as a march for queer rights over 30 years ago is now a celebration of the LGBTQ2S+ community and a stand against discrimination in the form of sharing one's truth.

It's an important day for already out LGBTQ2S+ individuals as it provides an opportunity to reflect on their own individual journey. It provides an opportunity to reflect on one's personal growth and the support that was provided by
