Featured Event
|
Join us for our
inaugural PFLAG Phoenix Familias del Arco Iris
(Rainbow Families) support meeting!
 |
Wednesday, March 3rd, 7:00pm-9:00pm
If you are

then this new PFLAG Phoenix support group
is just for you!
Our
Familias
del Arco Iris (Rainbow Families)
support group is a
bilingual/Spanish-speaking
support group brand new to the Valley.

|
 |
"Zanna, Don't!", presented by Desert
Stages Theatre |
Now
through April 25th |
|
Don't miss this fun and incredible musical!
We've seen it, and it's GREAT! "Zanna,
Don't!" is set in a world where
homosexuality is the norm, and heterosexuals
are considered an oddity. The town is called
Heartsville, USA. All of the characters are
homosexual, or so we think, until one bold
student writes a musical about forbidden
heterosexual attraction in the army, and the
true, closeted desires of two of the cast
members come to the surface. A world much
like our own and the chaos that ensues when
people love who they want to, gay or
straight. |
