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.

A PFLAG meeting is not group therapy, a class or a workshop. Smiles are everywhere, conversation and good cheer bubbles, information is shared and concern for one another is obvious. And for some, the ease with which members say, "I have a lesbian daughter," or, "I have a gay son," is a revelation. 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.
