PFLAG Silver City cannot offer financial support; however, we can offer information for families and others when a loved one comes out.

Family support and acceptance is critical to the health and wellbeing of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer, and PFLAG has been at the forefront of this work for over four decades.

Send your information to editor@grantcountybeat.com and we will post it as soon as we can. Instructions and prices are on the page.
Images: We have received complaints about large images blocking parts of other articles. If you encounter this problem, click on the title of the article you want to read and it will take you to that article's page, which shows only that article without any intruders. It's a software problem, not easily fixable, other than showing fewer articles per summary page. If you are a frequent visitor, you might not mind fewer articles per page, but if you only come once in a while, you likely want to see more articles to browse. Write me at editor@grantcountybeat.com to let me know your feelings on this issue.
