ICYMI: Earlier this month, we announced the launch of our new PFLAG Connects: Two-Spirit & Indigenous Circle! 🎉

PFLAG Connects: Two-Spirit & Indigenous Circle provides a safe, virtual, moderated space where people with shared experiences can connect each month. This community gathers parents, families, and loved ones of Two-Spirit and Indigiq***r relatives—as well as all Native and Indigenous people looking to be better relatives—to gain support, ask questions, and learn from others who have been through similar experiences. These meetings cater primarily to family members of Two-Spirit and Indigiq***r people, and also welcome members of the Native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit community.

The meetings are facilitated by Native and Indigenous peer facilitators who are either Two-Spirit/LGBTQ+ themselves or have a loved one who is. The meetings are free to the public and do not require PFLAG National or chapter affiliation.

PFLAG Connects: Two-Spirit & Indigenous Circle virtually meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 9pm ET / 6pm PT, with the inaugural meeting taking place next week on Wednesday, October 7! Join us for the launch by registering today at pflag.org/events/two-spirit-indigenous-circle 🪶
