Given our country’s - and, unfortunately our local area's - current climate, LGBTQ+ individuals are being pummeled with hate and ignorance. Foremost are attacks aimed at transgender youth. These are some of the most at risk people in our community. What's gone on locally is just plain cruel.
There's a small minority of people perpetrating these assaults. We know that they don't reflect the beliefs of the people living in the Carson Valley. Parents and educators have long provided a safe environment for students to be themselves. Playing politics at the expense of people - who aren't hurting anyone - is the lowest form of behavior.
The Social’s goal with this initiative is to form a nest of support – a fabric of ties with fellow LGBTQ+ individuals and our friends – so that no one feels alone.
The Social Luncheon provides a safe space to sit down for a meal and some conversation that enables us the ability to instill a sense of hope in the lives of these students.
Our celebration of community in November brought together an incredibly diverse group of people. February 24th's Social promises the same.
Our venue – Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint – provides a safe space for everyone to enjoy.
PFLAG Carson Region is playing a critically important role of connecting with students. We're very grateful for their continued brave and hard work.
Please let local students know that they are wanted and welcome!
