Resources

I deal with a lot of touchy issues on my blog. I have utilized some of the following resources and encourage you to as well.


Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG)
is a national non-profit organization with over 200,000 members and supporters and over 500 affiliates in the United States. This vast grassroots network is cultivated, resourced and serviced by the PFLAG National Office, located in Washington, D.C., the national Board of Directors and 13 Regional Directors. (From their website.)
