P-FLAG stands for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. They have seven children, two of whom are gay. It also expresses the message embraced by Velgos and other P-FLAG members who meet on the fourth Sunday of the month at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Carlsbad.
Love is all there is.
P-FLAG is a nationwide support group for parents, friends, siblings, children and other relatives of gay men and lesbians. The two-hour meetings begin with an hour of sharing, followed by a break for light refreshments and then a program, which may include a speaker, a panel or a video. In addition to providing support, P-FLAG is dedicated to tolerance, understanding, providing valid information and dispelling myths and misconceptions about gay men and lesbians. Myths can't survive in the sunshine. The group also helps people feel less isolated and alone in their situations.
