The First Travel Guide to Digital Queerdom on the World Wide Web

Gay & Lesbian Online is a travel guide to the gay world online, offering a
tour of the rich spectrum of gay interests; from those narrowly tied to
the culture (such as dating clubs, gay adoptions, legal areas, clubs, and
organizations) to the more general online features that gays, like any
other group, find useful (travel, cooking, music and news). Gay & Lesbian
Online includes a foreword from Cleve Jones, the founder of the AIDS Quilt
Project. 

Readers will find resources for AIDS, activism, bears, books, dating,
erotica, gardening, Madonna, movies, politics, sex, television, travel,
women's groups, and zincs. Destinations range from eminently useful
(disability advice) to brilliantly silly (cure-alls for bad hair days).
Cs, for example, contain everything from City Guides to Catalogues to
Chubbys & Chasers, and Cooking. You'll meet Max, at the Fat Girl home
page, "For Fat Dykes and the women who like them," and the nun whose
collection of AIDS information is larger than the government's. Then
there's Hein in Canada with his awesome list of links: Lady Bunny of
Wigstock fame; and a group of wonderfully talented web trailblazers like
Amy Goodloe; Bob Skepsis; and David Casti. Of course, there is also the
flock of overachievers at the QRD (Queer Resource Directory), a vast
archive of queerology that's so large and grows so quickly that even jaded
cybernauts are impressed. 

It's an astonishing world, this queer cyberspace, and Gay & Lesbian Online
covers it for both the novice and skilled cyberinternaut. Most of the
sites are on The Web. That's where the action is. But whatever your
current online account, you'll find traces of pink you hadn't suspected.
America Online, the most gay friendly service, has a particularly deep
range of gay topics. 

One word of caution--information is a strong cocktail and this one is pink
as hell. You may be modified. Cheers to queers.
