Non-binary panel to share experiences at PFLAG monthly meeting
By Linda Bratsen
Some people do not identify as female or male and navigate the world as non-binary. To better understand this gender-neutral topic, a panel of non-binary individuals addresses PFLAG Houston’s monthly public meeting on Sunday, August 12, 2018. The panelists will share experiences that highlight the unique challenges they face in a discussion titled “Guys, Gals and Non-binary Palsâ€. PFLAG Houston invites everyone to attend and honor their stories, and grow as allies and advocates. Â
The meeting begins at 2 p.m. in the Jones building at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 5501 Main Street; doors open at 1:45 p.m. Parking is available between Fannin and San Jacinto. Small groups, where members and visitors can confidentially share their individual journeys, follow the program. A small group is dedicated to families of transgender loved ones.
