Support: Our Children's Stories

I first came to PFLAG two years ago after coming out to my family for the first time at the age of thirty. I wanted to check things out for my mother and see if this was a good place for her to come to. I stayed and became involved with PFLAG because I found that listening to the parents of other GLBT people helped me to understand my own mother. I also found that telling my own story made me feel better and I knew that by sharing my experiences I was helping someone else's gay son or daughter. My mother never chose to come to a meeting; she said she didn't feel that she needed to. But I know that being a part of PFLAG has helped our relationship to grow, and I will always be thankful to them for that.
