May 15th – Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case That Made History
We will be screening Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case That Made History. Bullied is a documentary film that chronicles one student’s ordeal at the hands of anti-gay bullies and offers an inspiring message of hope to those fighting harassment today. It can become a cornerstone of anti-bullying efforts in middle and high schools. Bullied is designed to help administrators, teachers and counselors create a safer school environment for all students, not just those who are gay and lesbian. It is also intended to help all students understand the terrible toll bullying can take on its victims, and to encourage students to stand up for their classmates who are being harassed.
Bullied has been endorsed by the NEA.

Time: 2:45 pm to 5:00 pm

Who should attend?
If you are a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender person thinking about coming out of the closet or struggling with your sexuality, then come attend a meeting. If you are the parent of someone who has recently come out to you and you are struggling with the news, come attend a meeting. If you are the parent of an LGBT child and want to support someone else who is going through the same experience, come attend a meeting. If you are an out and proud lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender person and want to support another LGBT person coming to terms with their sexuality, come attend a meeting. We’ve had people who’ve come into one meeting and kept coming back for 20 years!
What can I expect at a PFLAG meeting?
No one who attends a meeting is ever made to feel that he or she must speak. We all know the value of quiet listening. And no one who does speak is expected to reveal more than he or she feels comfortable with. But in the warm and supportive atmosphere many newcomers find that they are able to put troubling thoughts and fears into words for the first time and receive reassurance, guidance and facts. All conversations are considered confidential and are not discussed beyond the room.
PFLAG literature is available as you come in and our free book and video library is open. Most meetings begin with a speaker or program. We break for refreshments, then meet for an hour of support in small groups. We generally end our meeting with a casual invitation to all interested parties to share dinner with us at a local restaurant.
