This Sunday: LGBTQ Experiences in Black American Families: A Panel Discussion + PFLAG Support Groups
This Sunday, PFLAG will host a special panel discussion focused on the experiences of LGBTQ Americans in Black American families. It promises to be an informative experience as we discuss coming out, the role of the black church, how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected the AA community and what PFLAG can do to help.
Please join us along with your friends and family. We will provide ample time after the panel discussion ends for questions to the panelists. We will follow the discussion, as usual, with refreshments and our support groups.

Where: St. Mark United Methodist Church (UMC) Church Bldg (entry from halfway down 5th St)
