POCATELLO – Mama Dragon, Debbie Glenn, mother of Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn, will speak at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø 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 ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Pond Student Union. It is hosted by Trinity Episcopal Church and ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø's Gender Resource Center.

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’s journey, most recently speaking alongside Judy Shepard, mother of anti-gay hate crime victim Matthew Shepard, in Wyoming this last fall.
