PFLAG MISSION STATEMENT

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.

PFLAG provides opportunity to dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identify, and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.

If you need help, please call our hotline at (520) 360-3795 or e-mail us at pflagtuc@pflagtucson.org.  We will connect you with a PFLAG member who has been where you are and who understands.

OTHER NEWS, VIEWS, AND INFORMATION

PFLAG/MSN SCHOLARSHIP RECEPTION
Please join us for our annual reception for our 2008 scholarship winners, to be help Saturday evening, May 3, at 7:00 pm at the Rochester home at 4551 N. Camino Gacela,  north of River Road half-way between Swan and Craycroft.  This year PFLAG has awarded eight $1000 scholarships and Mens Social Network has awarded two $1000 scholarships.  It is an uplifting experience to meet our scholarship winners and to learn about what fine and committed LGBT scholars our community has.

JUNE 2008 SUPPORT MEETING
Our next support meeting will be on Wednesday, June 4, at 7:00 pm in the main conference room at the Ward VI City Council offices at 3202 E. 1st Street.  We hope to have someone speak to us on transgendered children.  Moving to bi-monthly support meetings may make it more difficult for people to receive the support that they need, and we welcome requests to meet individually with people outside this time.

WINGSPAN/EON HOMELESS YOUTH PROJECT AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM (PRISM)
Wingspan/Eon's Homeless Youth Project is putting out a general call for people willing to qualify with a local youth agency and act as a "host family" for homeless LGBTQ youth. Eon has also established a new program called the Prism Project to help LGBTQ youth deal with substance abuse. Please click here for complete information.
