LGBTQ Family Support Group
This LGBTQ is an informal support group meeting of family and friends which meets monthly on the first Wednesday at 5pm in the Parish Hall at Our Lady of Hope Parish, in Portland, Maine.
Folks who are members of the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who has a family member or a friend of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome to attend.
There is no agenda. Folks are free to speak their minds. If folks prefer to just listen, that is fine, too.
