2017, July 19th. SUMMER! We had an indoor picnic and shared our experiences of past summers. The ABQ PFLAG Chapter provided BBQ chicken and pop supplemented with member-provided side dishes and desserts.

2017, June 21st. PRIDE was an appropriate topic at this time of celebration in New Mexico. We brought / showed / described something that we were proud of having made, created, or received. We told stories about what had made us proud, or described what now makes us proud. We asked: "What things have we done or attempted to do that have made OTHERS proud of us? What challenges and obstacles have we met and overcome?" -- This topic had many dimensions so, to prepare, we spent some time thinking about ourselves. We asked "What Makes Us Proud?"

2017, May 17th. We discussed our spring semesters which have just ended: "How was school?" We celebrated successes and compared notes on things that had not gone as well as we had hoped.

2017, April 19th. [There was a last minute cancellation.] So instead we shared our own "current events" and enjoyed a wide-ranging discussion. [Amber Royster of EQNM, was to have reported news from the last NM legislative session.]

2017 March 15th. Young stand-up comic Lucas C. had us laughing and laughing as he told stories that showed how a humorous approach to life, and performing comedy professionally, helped him to survive growing up questioning, ambiguous, and "queer."

2017 February 15th. Havens Levitt told us about SAGE-Albuquerque, now celebrating five years of service in the Albuquerque area.

2017 January 18th. Our discussion was about "Resolutions." Each of us has made resolutions at some time, so we asked "How well did we do at keeping them? What were the results?"
