In Loving Memory
Ladye Sparks
Ladye Sparks, lifetime member of PFLAG and member of the board of directors of PFLAG Dallas, died October 2, 2007 after a brief illness. As the newsletter editor for many years, Ladye made certain anything emanating from the board was written correctly. Over the years she corrected our spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Until just this year, she arranged for the trailer for the pride parade, oversaw the construction of our entry, and was always a prominent participant in the parade with her rainbow parasol (as seen above). She arrived at board meetings with her frozen yogurt in hand and was never shy about sharing exactly what was on her mind, keeping all of us on our toes. The GLBT community has lost a fierce advocate and a good friend who will be missed by PFLAG Dallas. We have truly lost a great lady and a vibrant spark of energy.

Taking a Public Stand
The Human Rights Campaign is collecting signatures to be listed in The Dallas Morning News in support of ending discrimination. The two-page Signature Ad will serve as the center piece of an entire special section, called "Be Who You Are". Religion & Faith is this year's topic for the special section. The purpose is to educate and move people to talk about these serious issues.
Do you believe equality is for everyone? Then take a stand. Sign Your Name Now! www.comeout.org/petition/signup.php
