West Hollywood parents are set to host a vibrant gathering for the local LGBT community and their allies at the Abbey on Saturday, August 24, at 10:00 AM. The monthly event, organized by Darryl Sher, promises a fun-filled morning for gay families and supporters, starting with a unique story reading session by the beloved drag queen, PICKLE, at 10:20 AM.

Sher urges attendees not to be late to catch PICKLE’s performance, which is sure to delight both children and adults alike. As a community-driven event, guests are encouraged to bring toys to share and keep the kids entertained throughout the brunch. “It’s a fantastic way to meet other families, share experiences, and enjoy a morning filled with laughter and joy,” Sher explained.

The event also provides a great opportunity for networking as Sher announced the launch of an LGBT parent business directory, available here. This directory features services and businesses owned or operated by LGBT parents, fostering community support and collaboration.

In addition to the brunch, Sher outlined other upcoming events for the community, including a Labor Day pool party and a parents’ night out in September. Details and RSVP options are available through the links provided in the original brunch invitation.

This initiative follows the increased visibility and support for gay parents in West Hollywood, highlighted by recent features in local media, including an article on WEHOonline.com. The article discusses the origins of the LGBT parents group, which has grown significantly since its inception during the COVID-19 lockdown.

For further details or to RSVP, attendees are encouraged to contact Darryl Sher directly. Sher also provided his personal contact information for any last-minute inquiries or updates regarding the event. As the community continues to grow, these gatherings reinforce the supportive network available for LGBT families in West Hollywood.
