Mark Lenihan is president of Douglas County's new chapter of PFLAG, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. PFLAG just finished sponsoring the second annual Gay Pride in Roseburg. Mark explains the how our local chapter fits into the national PFLAG organization. Mark talks about his background, and how he transformed from a traditional view of LGBTQ identified people, to where he is now, supporting the community. Mark explains what all those letters mean (LGBTQ), problems faced by the Douglas County community, and how PFLAG is helping to solve those problems with education, social services and other support. Mark gives his phone number for anyone to call with questions. PFLAG Roseburg plans on having a website soon, and when they do, I'll post that link here. Meanwhile, you can email Mark at marklenihan at gmail dot com. Here is the facebook page link:
