PFLAG of Greater Providence meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month from 6:45 to 8:45 pm at the MET School's Unity Building in Providence. If you are driving up Public Street from Eddy Street, it is the first campus entrance on the right after you cross Plain Street. The building is located toward the back with parking in the rear.

Refreshments and parking are available. All our welcome! Our meetings are relaxed, safe, and non-judgmental; and all information shared remains confidential.

PFLAG is a unique organization offering support for families of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and gender-nonconforming/questioning people, and for the LGBTQ people seeking to come out into the embrace of their families. We help by telling the stories of our own journeys to understanding and acceptance of our children, and we take a personal interest in every family who attends.

Queer Book Club

Lively, funny, intellectual, low-brow, agitated, topical, autobiographical--our discussions cover a lot of territory, depending on the book being discussed and the members who attend.

Books on the Square, 471 Angell St.

Don't have time to read the book? Read some reviews, draw on your knowledge about the Great War, or sit silently and smile winningly and join us for refreshments afterward. You'll have company: there's always a few who haven't read all or any of the book.

Coming up:

The QBC meets the third Wednesday of the month at Books on the Square located at 471 Angell Street, Providence across from Starbucks (in the Wayland Square area).

We meet at 7 pm

We look forward to seeing you.

If you don't have a chance to finish the book, come anyway.
