Lesbian Resources

I've been out for just over five years now, and have reached the rather unusual position of being a Lesbian Feminist Christian. Anyone who wants to know about my journey to reconcile these two equally important aspects of myself can start here... and read my story. One thing that has helped me was a leaflet from the Metropolitan Community Church which I have typed in for anyone who wants to read it.

I would like to announce as well that I am also happily working on a long term relationship with my girlfriend whom I love very much indeed.

And here's a few of my favourite lesbian and gay pages for any activists out there. I've tried to organise them under very loose headings, which should make it easier to find what you're looking for.

Same Sex Marriage Links

Because of the immigration situation with myself and my partner (she's American, so it is very hard for us to be together) this is a subject close to my heart. I sincerely hope that one day, US government will recognise our love as real and valid, and let us live together. Until then, these organisations deserve our time and support and money!

Links for Gay and Lesbian Christians

This is still in the process of being compiled.. but here are a few of my bookmarked sites:

Organisations and the like..

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Fight The Right Action Kit
The UK gay direct action group, OUTrage!
Or for those who prefer political lobbying to direct action.. Stonewall.
Staying European.. Eurosappho

"Culture"

One day I'll write and html-ise the essay I have in my head detailing the uncanny parallels between the hardcore gay "queer" culture, and the Evangelican Christian sub-culture... the accepted ways of dressing, speaking, behaviour.. the specific magazines you're supposed to read, music you listen to, festivals you go to.. the suspicion of anything from "outside" that is either non-christian or heterosexual depending where you are. Until then, this list of gay-related sub-culture sites will have to do.
