"
Pride and Prejudice: Gay Marriage, Family, and the Media"
Joe Varnell
and Kevin Bourassa
PFLAG
- Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays
" ... the most amazing talk that I have heard in a
very long time. Moving, inspirational and obviously from the heart. Thank you."
Ian, PFLAG
York Region "Their story was fascinating;
first one and then the other spoke, taking turns unfolding the events before and
following the ceremony ...It was a marvelous evening, not just because they told
a great yarn in style, but because no one listening could have had any doubt about
the integrity of their relationship. For families anxious about their gay children,
it must have been an inspiration."
Barbara
and Tom, PFLAG
