PFLAG
PFLAG is another helpful resourse..... Don't have one? Start one! One in five families has a member of the gay community--those families are as much in the closet as a gay person and live in fear of exposure or discovery. Coming out is a liberating experience. Gay is a state of being. An open mind and heart will aid in aging an understanding.
