Toronto Pflag offers caring and nonjudgmental support to Toronto’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their families.
Kimbourne is a welcoming safe space for all who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and their loved ones and has been an affirming church since 2024.
Adults Supporting Youth/Parenting with Pride:
This interactive workshop is for parents and caregivers who want to learn basic language and concepts important to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re supporting your child in this journey or just want to learn more, join us! You’ll learn the importance of inclusive parenting, how to prepare for and/or handle the coming-out conversation, how to talk to and advocate for your child if/when the time comes.
Speaker Bio:
Lisa is the proud parent of young-adult twins, one of whom came out as transgender/nonbinary in 2015. Not having much education or support at the time, Lisa turned to her local PFLAG chapter for guidance and community. Shortly afterwards, she began to support other parents and community members, work she continues to today as a support meeting facilitator, workshop presenter, and president of Toronto Pflag’s board of directors. One of her favourite parts of the work is the conversations generated during workshops and she looks forward to that in this session as well!
Make sure to RSVP with Eventbrite link below if you’d like to let us know you’re coming!

Free Film Screening: 1946 - The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture
2026-03-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Kingsway-Lambton United Church, 85 The Kingsway, Etobicoke, Ontario, M8X 2T6, Canada
1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946.
It chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice.
Featuring commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film’s creators, 1946 is at once challenging, enlightening, and inspiring.
Following the film screening, you are invited to stay for a short Q+A with the documentary’s researchers, Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford.
