News Update

The New Mexico State Legislature is now meeting for a "short" session (one month) during which we will be present, whenever possible, to engage our legislators in conversations to promote understanding and support of our objectives -- in brief, complete equality for all. One organization which has assumed a leadership role in the legislative effort is Equality New Mexico (EQNM and EQNM/PAC). You can visit their website for further information.

Happenings ---

2010, March 16th. Cooper Lee Bombardier, Program Coordinator of the New Mexico Gay Straight Alliance Network of the Santa Fe Mountain Center, will be speaking about the Network and Gay Straight Alliances, along with youth leaders who participate in the program.

2010, February 16th. We discussed the results of the NM GLBTQ Needs Assessment poll. Last year, the New Mexico GLBTQ Centers organization completed the first statewide needs assessment of the GLBTQ community in New Mexico. The purpose of the assessment was to establish the current quality of life and needs of the more than 68,000 identified GLBTQ indiduals living in New Mexico. In addition, the assessement tried to identify the perceived level of homophobia that currently exists in our state. Katherine Palmer, from our chapter and a member of the NM GLBTQ Center's Board, explained the methodology and results of the assessment.

2010, January 19th. Our guests from Equality New Mexico told us about the upcoming legislative session and EQNM's agenda.

PFLAG-Albuquerque's membership, at 60, remains stable from year to year. However, it should be highlighted that 22 new members joined our chapter this year. We would also like to thank the businesses (Ghost Town Trading Co, Maddox & Co Realtors and Sidewinders) and the other non profit organizations (Albuquerque Pride, Gray Panthers: Greater ABQ) who support PFLAG through their membership.
