On Homosexuality?
A Short Documentary on Homophobia and Religion

What do we do in the face of increasing hate crimes against the LGBTQ community?  Where does bigotry come from? Is religion the problem?  
We will use this 20-minute award-winning documentary to explore important questions about where bigotry comes from and how scripture can be used to defend and promote hatred and violence.   

There will be time for sharing and support.  

Questions, Answers, Resources
Transgender and Gender Expansive~Valuing Inclusion



PFLAG National is proud to have so many people who are transgender and gender expansive and their loved ones as part of the extended family of PFLAG. Now is a critical time for all of us who value inclusion to add our voices to the conversations happening across the country about HB2 and anti-transgender discrimination.

We thought it would be helpful to provide a list of questions we've been hearing and some helpful responses, some further talking points to share, and data for your use and reference.
