AGAPE

A Gay Affirming Positive Environment

We are committed to helping other parents learn what we have learned, to help change attitudes and to create an environment of understanding so that our gay and straight children can live with dignity and respect.

AGAPE (A Gay Affirming Positive Environment) is sponsored by PFLAG of Binghamton, NY for high school youths. The goals of AGAPE are:

  1. To provide a non-threatening environment where gay, lesbian and bi youths and supportive friends can share their common experiences.

  2. To help them unlearn the misconceptions about homosexuality that society perpetuates.

  3. To reduce the extreme sense of isolation many lesbian, gay and bi youths experience.

  4. To provide an opportunity for bi, lesbian and gay youths and their friends to interact with each other.

  5. To provide an opportunity for individual questions and concerns.

  6. To foster a sense of pride in oneself through exposure to gay, lesbian and bi history and culture.

  7. To help adolescents develop the inner resources to enable them to better protect themselves from the homophobic reactions of others.
