LETTERS: Support is here

PFLAG Canada is a national organization providing support to individuals.

Some Western News readers may have been following the exploits of Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who claims her ā€œChristianā€ beliefs won’t permit her to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.

She was briefly imprisoned for contempt of court, after she refused to follow the orders of a judge.

The support she is receiving from various quarters is disturbing. As the brother of a gay man (who died of AIDS in the 1990s) I find this somewhat disheartening.

PFLAG Canada is a national organization providing support to individuals who are experiencing difficulties because of their gender orientation or expression, and to their family, friends and supporters. I would like to invite all these people to this Thursday’s meeting of the PFLAG Canada Penticton chapter. Our speaker is a transgender woman who has changed her life over the past few years to live her own truth.

The meeting will be 6:30 p.m. Sept. 24, at Oasis United Church, 2964 Skaha Lake Rd., refreshments to follow. For further information, please contact me at 250-493-5530.
