RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR LESBIANS, GAYS OR BISEXUALS, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, IN FREDERICTON. THIS PAMPHLET IS ONE OF A SERIES.

There is an acute shortage of material that deals frankly and objectively with homosexuality and the reality of the lives of lesbians, gays and bisexuals. Conversely, sensational, scurrilous and highly impartial material is produced in an expanding flood by the popular media and a variety of religious and political groups determined to make money and expand their influence by demonizing and scapegoating gays, lesbians and bisexuals. What follows is a selective reading list composed of books you are most likely to find in local book-shops and libraries. Also included are local organizations who may be able to help track the volumes down, and mailing addresses of bookshops elsewhere in Canada that offer mail-order services. Similar bookshops exist in the USA, but if you send for material from the USA it is possible that it will be intercepted at the border. Gay and lesbian material, by no means all erotic, is regularly intercepted by Canada Customs.
