Chastity Bono has just written a book called "Family Outing" about her own experience of coming out as a lesbian. "Family Outing" (Little, Brown) also contains the stories of many PFLAG families and their journeys to love and acceptance of their children. The show's producer, who has been in touch with the wonderful PFLAG folks in the Chicago/Lakeview area and elsewhere, has agreed to provide the phone number and website address for PFLAG as a resource for its viewers. This should be a great way for us to get our message out there! Chapters may want to be prepared for additional calls generated by this publicity. So, stay tuned! Please keep us posted on any PFLAG sightings! And thanks for being out there on the front lines!
