LINKS WE LIKE BENT links point you to resources of all kinds. We don't include commercial links. You can find those easily enough without our help.

Send us information about links you think we ought to include: links@bentvoices.org. .

If you have collected materials that relate to your own life, political activities, organizational participation, or other activities connected with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender experience, we strongly encourage you to preserve those materials so they will be available to researchers in the future.

Although based in the San Francisco Bay-Area, designed for amputees, and not gay-specific, we like this site because it promotes recreational/social opportunities in a lighthearted way, a pleasant antidote to our sometimes dolorous attitudes. |
