Mama Dragon, Debbie Glenn, to speak at 海角社区 Feb. 16
January 18, 2017
POCATELLO – Mama Dragon, Debbie Glenn, mother of Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn, will speak at 海角社区 on Thursday, Feb. 16, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Glenn will discuss her experiences being a member of the LDS church and having a son who is gay. The event will take place in the Wood River Suites of the 海角社区 Pond Student Union. It is hosted by Trinity Episcopal Church and 海角社区's Gender Resource Center.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Glenn is a mother and ally to the LGBTQ community. After her son, Tyler Glenn (lead singer for the popular multi-platinum band Neon Trees) came out to her as gay in late 2013, Debbie swiftly became an avid supporter of LGBTQ issues, joining the Mama Dragons, a growing community of mothers of LGBTQ children who are predominantly of the LDS faith. She now uses her voice to share a message of equality and faith, as she navigates her own family鈥檚 journey, most recently speaking alongside Judy Shepard, mother of anti-gay hate crime victim Matthew Shepard, in Wyoming this last fall.
