October is full of PFLAG Houston celebration
By Linda Bratsen
On October 11, 1987, half a million people participated in the National March on Washington, advocating for LGBTQ legal rights and protections. In 1988, the second march on Washington was designated as National Coming Out Day. As PFLAG Houston celebrates the 30th anniversary of this historic event, all are cordially invited to the group’s general meeting scheduled Sunday, October 14, 2018. PFLAG Houston parents, as well as individual members, will present their stories. Doors open at 1:45 p.m., and the meeting begins at 2 p.m. in the Jones Building at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 5501 Main Street. Parking is available between Fannin and San Jacinto. Small groups, where members and visitors can confidentially share their individual journeys, immediately follows the program.
