Pinkboard: PFLAG Graffiti Wall 1
Parents, Families & Friends of Gays and Lesbians: PFLAG is an group that helps
those who are coming to terms with the sexuality of someone they love. It is often
difficult for gay men and lesbians time to come to terms with their sexuality
(see Pinkboard's Coming Out
Graffiti Wall). Similarly parents, families and others who are close to people
in the process of coming out often have difficulty accepting that sexuality. This
wall is to allow people to share their experiences of their loved ones coming
out, and to ask questions.
PFLAG has groups all over Australia and around the world. Not all of them are on the Internet. Here are some links:
PFLAG Melbourne (best with Internet Explorer)
PFLAG Perth
PFLAG Sunshine Coast
PFLAG Western Sydney
Parents supporting Parents FLAG South Australia
PFLAG International

You need to be a little more proactive than that. Make up a flyer detailing all of Pflags details and the services they provide and do a letter drop throughout your whole parents neighbourhood. That way they get the information without being singled out (ie. "**Your** son/daughter is gay"), also that way it'll become a talking point in the neighborhood, some other people might let it be known to your parents that their child is gay. You may be doing a favor for more than just yourself and your parents.

Doing a letter drop is not a good idea, as P-FLAG may cop the brunt of some abuse (always possible when unsolicited things hit your letterbox!) for something they have not done. Requesting information from your local P-FLAG group may be more appropriate, and then leave it in a visible place when your parents visit. Alternatively, talk to your parents, and tell them you have some literature they may find helpful (assuming you have some from P-FLAG)
