A sold out crowd of over 300 people at the Westdale Theatre showed their appreciation for Ivan Coyote in the form of applause, laughter, tears, and quiet listening. And then there was more laughter. And more applause. Those in attendance had their hearts and minds opened a little wider. Wide enough to generously give over $900 to PFLAG. This event was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the First Unitarian Church of Hamilton, PFLAG, McMaster Gender Studies & Feminist Research Program, and the volunteers who ushered, staffed the book signing table and generally helped to make the evening the fun and successful night that it was. Thank you to all!
A message direct from PFLAG
“Heartfelt thanks to the Social Justice Committee and the First Unitarian Church for sponsoring our event! We appreciate you being a part of it all. It was a great event and we have received amazing feedback from many who attended. It came at a time of struggle for the 2S and LGBTQIA+ community; it was important to have a positive event this year. Thanks for being a part of of it all! Our goal is to produce another large event next year along with our regular events. Next year we plan to have four or more events that support the 2S and LGBTQIA+ community and their families, friends, and allies. PFLAG is a place that the 2S and LGBTQIA+ community and their families can come together to discuss joys and challenges in a supportive environment.
