The (GPFFL) Greater Philadelphia Flag Football League is an LGBTQ and straight ally recreation flag football league. We have two official seasons in the fall and spring. Members are drafted onto different teams each and every season in order to ensure an overall community aspect throughout the entire league.
Through our league, our events and most importantly, our members, we also seek to foster and augment the self-respect of all gay, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) persons and to promote respect and understanding from the larger community.
While particular emphasis is placed on these specific goals, it is a fundamental principle of GPFFL that all activities, social and athletic, are to be conducted in an inclusive manner and that no individual shall be excluded from participating on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability, physical challenge, HIV status or gender identity.
