We the parents, families and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons celebrate diversity and envision a society that embraces everyone.

We meet the first Thursday of each month, 6:30 p.m., at St. Paul United Church of Christ. We invite you to come and join us.
A video by Tony Campolo is at the lower portion of this page.· The video tells the story of the mother of a gay son and ends with a message which demolishes the "Love the sinner but hate the sin" excuse used by many on the religious right.· It is based on Jesus' saying in Matthew 7:1-5.· This is a video well worth watching.
What do I do if my child is gay? Lead With Love is a 35-minute documentary created to help answer that question. Our goal is to provide comfort, information, and guidance for parents who have recently learned that their son or daughter is lesbian, gay, or bisexual. The film follows four families as they share their honest reactions to hearing that their child is gay, including the intense emotions, fears, and questions that it raised. Interviews with psychologists, teachers, and clergy provide factual answers to parents' most commonly asked questions, as well as concrete guidance to help parents keep their children healthy and safe during this challenging time.
