PFLAG Dallas holds a virtual support meeting for parents, families and friends of LGBTQ people at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 12. PFLAG was founded in 1972 by Jeanne Manford after she marched with her gay son that year in New York’s Christopher Street Liberation Day March — the precursor to the modern-day Pride parade — and realized how many LGBTQ were estranged from their families. The Dallas Chapter was founded 20 years later on Aug. 7, 1992. Visit PFLAGDallas.org for information on how to register for the meeting.
