PFLAG Detroit and Oakland Community College hosts “Anyone and Everyone” Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 6:30p.m  OCC Highland Lakes Campus  Student Center (Use Parking Lot D) Entrance off Cooley Lake Rd. (see map link below)

PFLAG Detroit [Parents, Family & friends of Lesbians And Gays] and Oakland Community College - Highland Lakes Campus, will be hosting "Anyone and Everyone”, a documentary film that best depicts the stories of conflict, fear and anguish felt by families - from all walks of life - and their gay children, when their children came out to them. Parents from across the United States discuss their reactions to having a son or daughter reveal they are gay. Despite the diversity of the families’ ethnic, racial, socioeconomic, geographic and religious backgrounds, there is a thread connecting these stories.

 The heartfelt accounts of responses to children’s revelations personalize issues that are often de-personalized in political rhetoric. Beyond questions of gay rights, parents wrestle with their faiths, reflection by other relatives, the pain of their own lost dreams, and the fears born of their own and their community’s prejudices or ignorance.

 The love between parents and children is a powerful springboard for discussions about family, community and the hard work of pluralism and accepting differences.

 Join us on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 6:30p.m, followed by questions and answers. OCC Highland Lakes Campus – Levinson Hall, Room 221 - is located at 7350 Cooley Lake Road, Waterford, MI. For directions, visit their website at www.oaklandcc.edu
