"I came out publicly at a PFLAG meeting..."
"...At the time, I was having such different and opposing feelings, but PFLAG affirmed that being gay is a gift. I never forgot that."

-- Quote from A PFLAG member from Saginaw, Michigan



PFLAG promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons, their families and friends through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public; and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights. Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity, and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.

If you donate to Democratic Underground today (Saturday) or tomorrow (Sunday), we'll give 10% of your contribution to help PFLAG.

And you're also helping Democratic Underground during our 4th quarter fund drive, which ends on Sunday night.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

Thank you to all of our monthly subscribers, and to everyone who has donated to this week's fund drive. Your support is vital to keeping Democratic Underground online.

Please kick and recommend this thread so more DUers can see it.

13. "Whew!"
For a second there, I thought you were 'coming out.' My concern was about what your wife would think.

:evilgrin:

But it is a quote. And a good cause. Not overly familiar with them, but it sounds like they do good work.
