Meetings Include:
A program, usually a speaker on topics of general interest to the whole group. Small discussion groups that are completely confidential and provide an opportunity to share thoughts and feelings, and to listen to others do the same.

Support for straight spouses of gay persons is also available by calling our helpline at 612-825-1660 or coming to our monthly meetings.

For GLBTs:
PFLAG is family! We invite all gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning people to be a part of our family because we understand and can offer unconditional support. People have been coming to our meetings for years because we can provide a safe space for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning people and their families and friends. Some attend to figure out how to "come out" to their loved ones; others come to be with their family who stand by them; and still others come because their own biological family will not accept them. Whatever, the reason, GLBT people are always welcome at our table. Sometimes, it just helps to have someone to talk to.

For Family & Friends:
You need to know, you're not alone. PFLAG can help you understand your loved one's sexuality or gender identity. Our chapter members come from many walks of life and we've most likely been though much of what you may be feeling. If you're to a place of love and acceptance, then PFLAG can help take you to another step to advocacy. Each of us can make a difference by sharing our story and letting others know that you have a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered loved one.

Youth support for sons and daughters of gays and lesbians is available through COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere) through their website www.colage.org

For Straight Spouses:
It can be very devastating when your spouse comes out or discloses being, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. When this happens, the straight spouse and children often go into their own closet. You need to know, you're not alone. Non-gay spouse support is available through our chapter. Following our regular monthly program on the third Sunday of each month (see above), we have a separate room and a group facilitator who has relevant experience to share stories and solutions with straight spouses and their families.

For further information and support for straight spouses, call Deadra Moore (651-278-4366) or check out the Straight Spouse Network at: www.ssnetwk.org.

If you're unable to make it to our meetings, please call our confidential helpline number (612-825-1660) or email us at: support@pflagtc.org
