We are parents, families, and friends of the LGBTQ community. Our support efforts provide encouragement and resources to parents, families, friends, allies as well as LGBT people themselves. We come from various backgrounds, occupations and age groups. Some of us have gone through similar experiences, sometimes we are still struggling with being a parent or family member of a loved one who is LGBTQ, but we come together to share our story and enjoy the company of other PFLAG members. We hold meetings once a month to talk about all kinds of things. This is a confidential space to share and learn information to educate ourselves about current LGBTQ events. Meetings are every third Monday of the month.
Come join us at the DC Center from 7-9pm (2000 14th NW suite 105, Washington, DC). We hope to see you there!
Dear DC Centre PFLAG, My name is Ruby Remenda Swanson. My husband I were the Edmonton PFLAG Directors for seven years. I am the author of “A Family Outing” published by Cormorant Books Inc.Toronto. “A Family Outing” is about the experiences I’ve had as a result of having a gay son. It’s available in bookstores and libraries across Canada, and online on Amazon in Canada and the US. Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.ca/Family-Outing-Ruby-Remenda-Swanson/dp/1770864768 where you can read the first few pages if you click on the “Look Inside” tab.
I’m going to be in DC with work November 25 – December 1 and would like to drop by to introduce myself. We’ve made a lot of progress in Canada, but there is still so much work to do. I hope it works out that we can meet. Sincerely, Ruby
