PFLAG Public Forum

PFLAG to Host Public Forum April 15 at Library

Instead of its regular April meeting, PFLAG will host a public forum Tuesday, April 15, featuring organizations and groups besides PFLAG who are open and affirming to the LGBTQ+ community in town. The forum, to be held in the Bromley Room of the Siuslaw Public Library from 6 to 7:30 p.m., will hear from representatives from the health fields, education, civic and community groups, and open and affirming faith communities. The event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be available.

PFLAG, which has been active in Florence since 2011, is a member of the Florence Area Community Coalition and the Chamber of Commerce. Its supporters have marched in the Rhody Parade for a dozen years and in the Yachats La-de-da Parade with PFLAG-Oregon Central Coast of Newport for six years.

PFLAG-Florence is an affiliate of a national organization with more than 350 chapters and 200,000 members and supporters across the United States. PFLAG is the country’s largest organization working to create a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.
