Generally, monthly sharing meetings are held at Kenilworth United Church of Christ, 45 Dalton Drive,
Tonawanda 14223, from 2:30-5:00. Newcomers and anyone interested will be offered the option of meeting
privately with a PFLAG parent. Our monthly meetings are in the library, which is near the parking lot entrance.
The facility is handicapped accessible. New Parents Meetings are scheduled as needed at a location
convenient to those involved. These self-help one-on-one meetings deal with the concerns of parents and
family members who have recently learned that a loved one is gay.

before the vote, as well as people who passionately spoke out against their own
experiences with this type of therapy.

voted unanimously to pass this ban.
Also thanks are sent to Bryan Ball, president of Stonewall Democrats, who pushed
for this bill and rallied many to write and speak.
