Reports from the National PFLAG Conference in Washington D.C.
This conference in October, 2007 featured a talk by Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire and the first Straight Ally award to Dear Abby. Seven members of the Indianapolis chapter were able to attend and returned inspired to carry on the efforts to support our GLBT loved ones.
