¡PFLAG en Español!
See below for the English version.
Ahora ofrecemos un grupo de apoyo para padres, familias, amigos y aliados de la gente LGBTQ de habla hispana. Es muy similar a nuestros otros dos grupos generales de apoyo en San José y San Mateo; la principal diferencia es que realizamos las reuniones en español.
Estos son los detalles de nuestra próxima reunión:
Miércoles, 4 de abril, 7:30 p.m.
Alum Rock United Methodist Church
30 Kirk Ave., San José
Evento especial: Proyección de la película documental Anyone and Everyone (Cualquiera y Todos), doblada en español. Mostramos la primera mitad de marzo, así que mostraremos la segunda mitad en abril.
Tendremos reuniones posteriores el primer miércoles de cada mes — 2 de mayo, 6 de junio etc. — al mismo tiempo y lugar.
Estamos empezando con nuestros esfuerzos publicitarios, para que pueda ayudar a difundir la palabra a cualquier persona que conozca en la comunidad de habla hispana de San José y el área del Sur de la Bahia. Haga clic aquí para obtener una copia electrónica de nuestro folleto en español, que puede distribuir libremente.
Además, queremos extender un gran agradecimiento al Rev. Stephen Lee y a su congregación en Alum Rock United Methodist; ¡Su iniciativa y generoso apoyo han sido vitales para este proyecto!
PFLAG in Spanish!

We now offer a peer support group for Spanish-speaking parents, families, friends and allies of LGBTQ folk. It's very similar to our other two general support groups in San Jose and San Mateo; the main difference is that we conduct the meetings in Spanish.
Here are the details for our next meeting:
Wednesday, April 4, 7:30 p.m.
Alum Rock United Methodist Church
30 Kirk Ave., San Jose
Special event: Screening of the documentary film Anyone and Everyone, dubbed in Spanish. We showed the first half in March, so we'll show the second half in April.
We'll have subsequent meetings on the first Wednesday every month — May 2, June 6, etc. — at the same time and location.
We're just getting started with our publicity efforts, so you can help by spreading the word to anyone you know in the Spanish-speaking community of San Jose and the South Bay area. Click here for an electronic copy of our chapter brochure in Spanish, which you may distribute freely.
Also, we want to extend a big thank you to the Rev. Stephen Lee and his congregation at Alum Rock United Methodist; their initiative and generous support have been vital to this project!
