Happy New Year to all. Our January 12 meeting will begin at the usual time 7:00pm @ TVUUC (Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church) 2931 Kingston Pike. We will have a brief business meeting, with time for guests.
It’s been an amazing summer and we certainly hope you’ve enjoyed it. After a summer hiatus PFLAG Knoxville has resumed its normal schedule. We meet at 7:00pm on the 2nd Thursday of the month at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church!
Fellow PFLAGer’s,
I am still wiping the tears from my eyes after watching today’s episode of the Oprah show. Today she had the mothers of two 11 year old boys that have committed suicide in the last two weeks because of bullying at school – bullying which included sexual harassment towards POSSIBLE perceived sexual identity. I know that the Knoxville chapter of PFLAG, along with the rest of the PFLAG chapters nationwide, want our young people to grow up free from bullying in their schools. We cannot rest until this is achieved.
We are all so very encouraged when we see our young people make a stand for what is right, make a stand for equality and when they lead us by their example. These are a few of the reasons that we are so honored to have some of our high-schoolers from Spectrum Cafe to be present at this month’s meeting, next Thursday, May 14th at 7:00. These courageous young people will share their stories of their experiences in their participation of the National Day of Silence, and the program they presented at the World’s Fair Site, “Breaking the Silence”.
Come be a part of this important meeting that you will not want to miss.
We look forward to seeing you!
