♥
Free + welcoming
LGBTQ+ people, parents, families, friends and allies are invited.
What to expect
Keep it easy.
This isn't a conference, fundraiser or formal program. It's a reason for good people to find one another, spend an afternoon together and leave a little more connected.
Garlic bread, obviously.
Classic, cheesy, vegan, homemade or frozen-aisle icon. Bring whatever interpretation of garlic bread makes you happy.
Bring what makes a park day better.
A blanket, lawn game, chair, sunscreen, your chosen family, or just yourself.
Meet your people.
Come with friends or come ready to make some. There is no expectation that you already know anyone.
Free to attend
Tell us you're coming♥
RSVP so we have a rough headcount, can send you any important event updates, and can make appropriately irresponsible decisions about the amount of garlic bread involved.
BYOGB
Bring Your Own Garlic Bread.
Seriously. That's most of the concept.
RSVP for the picnic
Takes about 20 seconds. We only need the basics.
PFLAG Tampa uses the information you provide to manage
your RSVP and communicate with you according to the
preferences you select in the form.
About PFLAG Tampa
Connection is part of the work♥
PFLAG creates a caring, just and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Here in Tampa, that begins with making it easier to find support, build relationships and know that you belong.
Leading With Love
PFLAG supports, educates and advocates for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Sometimes that work happens in a support meeting. Sometimes it happens through advocacy. And sometimes community starts with a loaf of garlic bread.
Bring a blanket. Bring your people.
Or come meet some. We'll see you at the park.
