The Regional Director, Marcie Mathis, has created a Yahoo email group for the region (PNW-PFLAG@yahoogroups.com) to enhance communication. To join the group, send an email to PNW-PFLAG-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or to pnw-pflag@comcast.net. This is a moderated group, so all messages posted to the group will be approved by one of the region moderators before
being mailed to the entire group. Please be judicious in its use. If you wish to respond to a particular individual,
contact that individual directly rather than responding to the entire group. Please refrain from making statements about
any particular political candidate; comments on legislative issues are OK but the intent of the email group is to share information
that will enhance the work of all chapters in the Pacific Northwest Region.

You don’t have to leave your mind, heart and body behind when you
encounter the Bible. This Human Rights Campaign resource places comments about the Bible alongside the real life experiences
and concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith and our allies. With the help of skilled scholars,
you will discover a fresh approach to Scripture. Here you can be honest, question and go deeper.
