Perhaps you or a member of your family have questions about PFLAG Tri-Cities.  Maybe you are not ready to come to a meeting, but would like to talk to someone about us first.  Sometimes when a son or a daughter comes "out of the closet" parents go into the closet.  The closet is a lonely place.  We have a number of people who may have the same questions and concerns about faith, family, and friends as you.  

You are not alone.  Contact us.  We can put you in touch with someone who understands.  You will find a confidential friend at PFLAG.



does this sound familiar?

On December 17, 1997, when our son Adam told us he was gay, our world was turned upside down. We were absolutely devastated. We desperately needed someone to comfort us, to assure us that our son, our family would be okay. But we were too embarrassed and scared to admit this secret to anyone, to reach out for comfort.
