PFLAG Granby will hold a cookout and ice cream social on July 19 to celebrate one year since its launch. The cookout is open to anyone interested in participating with the chapter and is a chance to celebrate our first year of activities, including social gatherings, support meetings, guest speakers, a film series and the launch of LGBTQ+ advocacy efforts.
PFLAG Granby is pleased to announce a series of film screenings to celebrate Pride Month. On June 7 at 4 p.m., the chapter will host a screening of Tomorrow’s Too Late, about British artist Dylan Holloway, formerly known as Lots Holloway, who stepped away from the spotlight during the 2020 lockdown to begin his gender transition. Once a rising star on the UK’s X-factor, Holloway now faced a profound personal and professional crossroads as hormone therapy could irreversibly change the voice that defined his career.
