OUR MISSION
We meet on the second Wednesday of every month, 6:30 to 8:00
p.m. at Indiana Youth Group, 2943 East 46th Street (near Allisonville Road). Click here to view a map.
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE ON WEDNESDAY, August 13th at 6:30 P.M.
Indy PFLAG's next meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 13th at 6:30 p.m. at 2943 East 46th Street, Indianapolis (IYG)*. This meeting will feature guest speaker Angie Alexander, Executive Director of Middle Ground, Inc. After witnessing the harrowing attack on LGBT Hoosiers and the lack of resources available to protect them, Angie committed herself to bringing the focus back to the families that make up the LGBT community of Indiana. Subsequently, Angie and and her wife Cynthia formed Middle Ground, Inc. and began gathering resources in the areas of family law, adoption, accountants, and faith groups that promote family equality by educating, enriching, and empowering LGBT Hoosiers, taking the attention from the political arena to the homes of these individual families who seek protection. Angie will share her story and answer questions.
Following a short refreshment break, we will have our Confidential Sharing Session where participants can share their stories and ask questions in a safe, confidential setting.
Please join us - all are welcome - parents and families of LGBT children, Straight Allies, and LGBT people! No one is made to feel he or she must speak--we all know the value of quiet listening. And no one who speaks is expected to reveal more than he or she cares to. But in the warm, supportive atmosphere, many find they can put troubling thoughts and fears into words for the first time, and receive reassurance, guidance, and just plain facts.

SUPPORT FOR PARENTS, FAMILIES and ALLIES OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE
In our efforts to better support parents, families and allies of transgender people, Indianapolis PFLAG is offering a break-out session at our October meeting. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at 2943 East 46th Street, Indianapolis (Indiana Youth Group).*
The first hour of the meeting will feature a speaker (TBA). Following a short break for refreshments, we will then break into two groups. The goal of this break-out group is to provide support, resources, and an on-going discussion for parents, families & allies of transgender people.
All parents, families and allies of transgender children are invited to the break-out session. Our meetings are peer-led - we are not professionals. We will offer professional resources for anyone who requests them.
