Salisbury PFLAG Meetings Go Virtual
Salisbury PFLAG takes the health and well being of our community seriously and in accordance with guidelines from Governor Hogan, we have suspended our monthly in-person meetings temporarily. However, we recognize that people in our community want, and need, to remain connected, especially during this tumultuous time. Accordingly, we have transitioned to weekly online Zoom meetings. Please, email us to get a link to enter our meeting at salisburypflag@outlook.com and remember that together we are stronger.

Our Meetings - Open and Welcoming to All
- What is said in our meetings and the identities of those attending is strictly confidential.
- No recording devices are allowed without consent.
- Presence at our meeting does not indicate any particular sexual orientation.
- All have the right to expect these protections and are obligated to extend them to everyone present.
We have been where you are:
- “My son just told me he’s gay. What should I do? I am afraid for him.”
- “I feel like I am the only transgender person in the community. What support and activities are offered on the Eastern Shore?”
- “How do I speak out to people who make fun of my lesbian friend?”
- “I want my child to be safe and happy and have the same opportunities as everyone else. How can I advocate for the rights of my child?”
- “Won’t being LGBTQ+ make my child’s life harder?”
- ”How will I ever tell my friends and family?”
- ”What if my religion does not accept gays?”
- "My daughter just came out to me as non-binary. I'm not sure what this is. Can you help me understand?"
- ”How do I meet other LGBTQ+ people?”
What Should You Expect?
We typically have a topic for discussion, and sometimes we might have a special guest. Conversations are usually informal. If someone is in need of crisis assistance or struggling with an issue, we will put aside our planned discussion topic to provide support. Attendees may share and participate as much or as little as they would like.
Concurrent with our adult meetings, we offer a youth meet up. Parents, and guardians, are welcome to bring youth to participate who meet in a space adjacent to our meeting and participate in a guided activity and discussion with our youth outreach volunteers. Note: this is not a drop-off event.

One day, society will accept all its members as equals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Until that day there is PFLAG." ~Metro DC PFLAG
