WELCOME TO

PFLAG DALLAS

Join PFLAG Dallas for our monthly support meetings.  We typically have two support meetings each month – one in person and one held virtually via Zoom.  For May we are not going to hold our usual in person meeting but invite members and guests to attend a book interview event held on our usual in person meeting day. Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez’s new book “Conversion Therapy Dropout,” came out on May 5th, 2026. There will be a discussion and book signing at 6 pm, Thursday, May 14th. The event will be held at Interabang Books, 5600 W Lovers Ln, Ste 142, Dallas, TX 75209. After the event we can have food and conversation next door at Eatzi’s Market & Bakery! Please see more information below!

The Jim Howe Memorial Scholarship

The 2026 Jim Howe Memorial Scholarship application period is now over. PFLAG Dallas provided four $1,000 scholarships to high school graduating seniors from the Dallas/North Texas area who:

  • Identify as LGBTQIA+
  • Live in North Texas
  • Are continuing to higher education, college or vocational trade school
Congratulations to our winning students!

 

Jim was probably the biggest Pride Parade enthusiast you’ll ever meet. One of his greatest joys was taking first time marchers to the front of the line before the parade started to share his delight and wonderment at the enthusiastic waiting crowds. He loved sharing his love with the community.
When uncertain newcomers showed up to our monthly support meetings, Jim was the greeter who gently put them at ease. “Kind” and “welcoming” are words that have come up time and again to describe him.
We’re all grateful Jim felt well enough to join us in last week’s festival and parade. He attended our support meeting this past week as well, lovingly sharing his experience and perspective with newcomers as he always has.
Over the past eleven years since he and his family joined PFLAG, Jim has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights at the state legislature, staffed countless PFLAG tables at corporate and community functions, volunteered at conferences and other events, and most recently served as our chapter treasurer.
Jim is survived by his loving wife and partner of 53 years Sondra Howe; daughter Lisa, daughter-in-law Wendy, granddaughter Hope; daughter Marcy; sister Barbara; sister-in-law Ann; brother-in-law Allen; sister-in-law Mabel; and many friends.
