Gay & Lesbian Online

With URLs for everything from activist organizations to youth resources, Jeff Dawson's site directory is a practically indispensable reference tool for the online gay or lesbian. (There's also an extensive section listing sites with transgender-themed material, although a similar section for bisexuals is curiously lacking.) Dawson also includes extended reviews of high-profile sites for organizations like PlanetOut, GLAAD, and Digital Queers, as well as smaller but intriguing groups like the Queer Skinhead Brotherhood. Chances are that if you poke around this book long enough, parts of it are going to end up in your browser's bookmarks file.

This guide takes the reader on a tour through the entire online terrain of gay interests, from those areas specifically tied to the culture, such as dating, gay adoption, legal issues and clubs, to more general areas like travel, music, health and news.
