Sunday was the LGBT Life Online panel held at the PFLAG (Parents, Family & Friends of Lesbians and Gays) meeting here in Visalia. The Tulare-Kings PFLAG invited this group to speak on blogging and online activities of the LGBT community in the central valley. From left to right, Andrew, web manager for Tulare-Kings PFLAG‘s website and Facebook pages, Melissa of GayPorterville.com, Brooke of GayVisalia.com and GayCentralValley.com, Justin of My LGBT Plus, myself representing QueerLandia.com and the soon to be discontinued QueerVisalia.com, and Ted of My LGBT Plus sat on the panel. Each gave an overview of the history and objectives of their respective organizations. A question and answer period allowed the audience a chance to ask about the various groups and how they operate.
This is the first time I’ve been on such a panel, and it was not too long ago that you’d never have gotten me up in front of a crowd like this. I was amazed that I was completely calm, and was looking forward to the event before hand, and enjoyed being before the group. The past few years have seen quite the change in my personal growth, even if I do say so myself, in that I’m much more relaxed and confident. That’s a big change for me, and I think much of it has to do with deciding to be an out gay man.
