organized Soka Gakkai’s contingent in the 2007
Portland Pride Parade.
Larsen said the Rainbow Group is “a beacon for
the gay community, but we don’t want segregation.”

“It’s so important for you to know we cherish you."

introductory meeting 2 p.m. Dec. 1 at Q Center,
69 S.E. Taylor St., to help acquaint those curious
