STAND

A group for dads who Support Together, Affirm, Nurture, and Devoted to their LGBTQIA2S+ children

STAND offers a brave and affirming space to ask questions, share experiences, and strengthen your relationships with your LGBTQIA Child.

🌈 A safe, confidential space just for dads — a place to show up as you are, ask questions without judgment, and receive support as you navigate what it means to parent and champion your LGBTQIA2S+ child.

💬 Guided discussion and grounded support

Our trained PFLAG Denver facilitators lead each session with respect, balance, and warmth. Whether you’re speaking up, listening, or just taking it all in, your voice is valued and welcome.

🤝 Connection with dads who understand

You’ll meet fathers who are walking a similar journey — celebrating their kids, learning alongside them, and working to show up with love even when things feel new or challenging. Many discover a powerful sense of shared experience here.

🪞 Learning, reflection, and growth as a parent

We explore topics like affirmation, navigating conversations at school or home, understanding identity and expression, strengthening family communication, and supporting your child through every phase of their journey.

💖 A community built on devotion and love

STAND isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about choosing to show up for your child with courage, compassion, and curiosity — and surrounding yourself with other dads who are doing the same.
