← Join PFLAG Johns Creek as we march in the 2019 Atlanta Pride parade on Sunday, October 13. We will meet at the North Springs MARTA station at 10:30 AM and travel downtown together. The parade doesn’t start until 12 noon but we must arrive early downtown to locate other Atlanta area PFLAG chapters (we are all marching together) and get lined up in our spot designated by the parade committee. Be prepared to purchase your own MARTA tickets. MARTA fare is $2.50 for a one-way trip or $5.00 for the full round-trip. All MARTA fares must be purchased with a Breeze card or Breeze ticket available for purchase at the machines in the station. For anyone who does not come with the group or wishes to come on their own, we will be in ROW F SPACE 9 at the PFLAG Atlanta truck on the bridge at West Peachtree Street when you exit from MARTA Civic Center Station. – Be sure to bring your own bottled water or other drink for the parade route to ensure you stay hydrated. – It’s advisable to wear sunscreen and a hat or even a long sleeve T-shirt for sun protection. In the event of rain, the parade usually goes on so if the weather turns be prepared with a hooded rain cover/poncho. – This is an opportunity to be yourself, dress crazy, show those rainbow colors, and have fun! – We will have a tent at the end of the parade route in Piedmont Park in Midtown where we’ll have sandwiches, snacks, and water. There will be vendors, music, and lots of activities in the park to check out if you choose. PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: This is not a drop-off event. Kids under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or another adult you have given permission to.

  • Attention Parents of Transgender Youth: Georgia State Representative Ginny Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, has announced she will introduce legislation that would make it a felony to provide a transgender child (under 18) the medical care they need to transition. This would include surgery and medications, including hormone therapy or puberty blocking therapy. She plans to introduce her “Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” in the Georgia General Assembly. Her press release specified that this was about children who are being abused by adults. This proposal was littered with misinformation and false claims. Please see our response http://bit.ly/2QirqmK. In an effort to educate legislators, PFLAG Johns Creek is working diligently with Georgia Equality and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Both of these fine organizations have vast experience in the political process in Georgia. Here is how we can best help them help our youth: We need parents of transgender youth to write moving stories of their experience. These do not need to be long, but should be heartfelt. These stories will then be put together to form a real life view for law makers in how this proposal would affect families. You do not need to quote talking points, nor do you have to disclose personal information such as your name. We are simply wanting real people who can articulate their journey. Please email all testimonials to: pflagjohnscreek@gmail.com. We will forward them on. Again, you may be undisclosed if you wish and pictures are not necessary. For an example of a testimony and additional information, visit http://bit.ly/2X9ryGu and view our recent email blast about this request. Thank you for your help!
