AVER is a non-profit, chapter-based association of active, reserve and veteran servicemembers dedicated to full and equal rights and equitable treatment for all present and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Get involved in creating change – advocate peace, justice and equality!

Keep up with Houston’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender community and our allies by joining HoP- ON , the Houston Political Organizing Network, a moderated announcement listserv for Houston’s GLBT  Community!

HoP- ON was founded in 1996 by Burton Bagby-Grose to help facilitate advocacy work and organizing efforts in Houston’s GLBT Community. The HoP- ON name was adopted in March of 2000 and Yahoo Groups became our hosting service at that time.

The mission of PFLAG Houston is to:

• Support Families - working to keep families in loving relationships by helping them understand and affirm their gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered family members.
• Educate the Public - seeking to dispel the myths and misinformation by working with educators, community and religious groups, the media, and the general public.
• Advocate for Equality - calling for equal human and civil rights.
