Apr 15th - The family behind the ‘Family Acceptance’ website
Our program today will feature the Ellis family who is behind the Family Acceptance website. It has been a wonderful and informative resource for parents of gay and lesbian children and we are fortunate that the folks behind it are from our very own city, Atlanta!
When: Sunday Apr 15th
Time: 2:45 pm to 5:00 pm
Where: First Metropolitan Community Church (located behind the McDonalds on N. Druid Hills Rd near the I-85 intersection)
1379 Tullie Rd. Atlanta, Georgia 30329
Adam and Patti Ellis were featured on CNN in an interview about the website and the work they do.

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.
