Drag Queen Nancy Nogood (she/her) is back by popular demand as our evening’s emcee!
This family-friendly event will include a paddle raise to generate funds for Greater Boston PFLAG. Come for the community, hope, and celebration, and leave making an impact that supports our critical and at times, life-saving work.
We sold out last year, so don’t delay getting your tickets! You don’t want to miss this event!
Nancy Nogood (she/her) will be Emcee’ing our evening. She is a drag artist/playwright called “GLAMOROUS!” by the New York Times. In 2020, Nancy was commissioned by Michigan Stage to write her drag play for youth, “Looking Back Through Stained Glass,” a semi-autobiographical journey of finding community and acceptance in the face of adversity. When not in a wig, Nancy goes by Philip and works on the education team of PFLAG NYC, combining a passion for helping LGBTQ+ folks and a love of working with young people.
About PFLAG Greater Boston
Greater Boston PFLAG is proud to be part of the legacy that Jeanne Manford started by supporting her gay son in New York City in 1973. Jeanne wrote a letter to the editor, which evolved into a support group and then spiraled into a national movement. Allies, parents/caregivers, and families are at the heart of our mission and they work tirelessly to support, educate, and advocate for LGBTQ+ people and their families.
Greater Boston PFLAG’s first support group convened in Cambridge in 1978 by a bold group of parents who believed their LGBT children deserved to be safe, included in all community spaces, and have the same rights as any other child.
Today, decades later, we continue the work of Jeanne and so many countless other volunteers and gather annually to celebrate our collective commitment to creating a safe and inclusive world at Pride & Passion. Pride & Passion is our annual fundraiser that allows us to honor exceptional allies and/or LGBTQ+ individuals with the Cornerstone of Equality Award, who embody the spirit of Jeanne and uses their voice to make the world a better place for LGBTQ+ individuals in Massachusetts and beyond.
