UPCOMING MEETING
NOVEMBER 12th ------  THIS SUNDAY

The movie Brokeback Mountain has deeply affected and brought people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations together. It has transformed countless lives by inspiring people to take action to make major life changes, and has helped people to overcome long-held prejudicial beliefs. Brokeback Mountain opened up a nationwide dialog on the important issues of homophobia, same-sex marriage, and human rights in general.

Peter Tannen is a longtime SF PFLAG member and one of the people who have been deeply affected by Brokeback Mountain.  He will tell us about this experience and talk about the Brokeback Mountain Community he discovered through an Internet message board.  This has led to many new friendships, attendance at several out-of-town in-person get-togethers, and a one-to-one E-mail correspondence with a college student in the process of coming out.

***********

If anyone wonders how I found out about this meeting, it was because I suggested the topic and volunteered to speak!  ;D

I want to extend a special invitation to all SF Bay Area Brokies to attend and share your experiences during the discussion. The PFLAG meetings are free and open to anyone. Come to our next meeting on the second Sunday of every month 2 - 4 p.m. St. Francis Lutheran Church at 152 Church St.near Market. The first hour of our meetings involve small group discussions in which you'll be free to speak or just listen. You can tell us who you are or stay anonymous. After a break, the second hour involves a speaker or other educational program.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Hope to see you local Brokies there!

Pete

Ellemeno:
Pete, you have singlehandedly done so much for BBM in SF.  One of my most meaningful BBM moments, was being inthe audience when the mayor's representative pronounced that it was officially BBM Day in SF.  Thanks for all you do for us.

Front-Ranger:
I wish I could be there! Can you get someone to tape it?? Looking forward to your insights as the most well-traveled Bettermostian!

RouxB:
Peter Tannen, you are a force of nature! We are so fortunate to be in your orbit  :-*

Sashca1007:
Pete, you ARE the greatest--  a real treasure!  :D  You always keep us informed about any SF/BBM activity, and we appreciate it!  I would very much like to attend this meeting if I can (of course I always like excuses to see you again  ;) ).
