Your list seems thin when compared to some of the long-established online resources. See http://www.graygay.com/links.htm for more information.
I’d also leave out Gray and Gay since it has no original content and few members.
Thank You and thanks for the reply Jennifer
Hi Bill,
In the coming months, this will live in a new “LGBT resources” section, which will have similar info for all kinds of issues.
We’re still working on it – but this won’t go away.
It would be nice to have a printable list with the URL’s instead of just links which go away as this story fades.
