2018, November 21st. We enjoyed a potluck dinner and good conversations, and ended the evening with some board games.  PFLAG-ABQ provided the basics (like turkey, stuffing) and participants brought favorite dishes to share (veggies, potatoes, sweets, pies!). A good time!

2018, October 17th.  It was't Halloween quite yet, but we celebrated a bit of "Samhain"--a day in Scots and Irish culture which today we call "Halloween"--when "separate things mingle": Fall and winter, living bodies and spirits. We enjoyed Scottish & Irish snacks, and photos of Scotland & Ireland explained by Havens Levitt.

"Today we remember Katherine Palmer. It is with heavy hearts that we inform our PFLAG family of her passing. Katherine was [a profound] influence on our organization and community for many years. We ask that our PFLAG family allow Katherine's partner space and time to heal at this time" (L.M.). We invite anyone who would like to remember Katherine with us to our February meeting on the 21st at 7pm.

2018, January 17th. -- After some chit chat, we watched The Laramie Project, a 97-minute film set in and around Laramie, Wyoming, filmed after the murder of 21-year-old Matthew Shepard. (The movie is an adaptation of a play by that name.)
