	"We are incredibly excited to welcome Stockard Channing to our
conference," said PFLAG National Executive Director Kirsten Kingdon.  "She
is a rare talent who has demonstrated an uncanny ability to connect with her
audience, in any given role.  I know that she will do the same with our more
than one-thousand conference attendees," Kingdon added.

	PFLAG's "Family Voices for Equality" conference will feature a vast
array of workshops and networking opportunities, as well as specialized
training, plenary sessions, and insightful speakers.  Other notable
personalities expected to participate in the conference include Betty
DeGeneres, Ellen's mom; former Rep. Steve Gunderson (R-WI); Jimmy Creech,
