I live in a small town. Crescent City California. There are no PFLAG support groups within 85 mils of here. It only takes 3 or more people, gay or straight to create a chapter and begin working on gay issues both locally and nationally. Won't you please join me in this important fight.  Email  me at  grammie34@gmail.com or respond to this post if you are interested. I will ALWAYS get back to you.

I am a Mother. I am a Grandmother. I am a gay activist an a PFLAG member. My mission in life is to make people understand that gay or straight, God made us all and he didn't make mistakes. I also hope to connect with young people who are being bullied for whatever reason. You are not alone. There is GREAT value in your experiences. I hope with my PFLAG membership to help other families who may be having problems accepting their loved ones for exactly who they are. I hope to go into schools and help young people learn to respect themselves and others through education.

Getting Started

My name is Donna Jochimsen. I am 54 years old. I am the proud mother of a wonderful gay man and 3 beautiful daughters. I also have 3 adorable granddaughters. My goal in life is to make sexual preference something that we don't even consider anymore. All life styles are equal and no one asks me if I am straight. I joined PFLAG as a way of educating family and friends about gay issues. I also feel very strongly about bullying and hope to go into schools as a PFLAG  member and discuss the problems with bullying  and what we can do as a community to teach acceptance and respect for ourselves and others.
