bi.org
www.bi.org |
|
| Probably
the
largest online presence anywhere
dedicated to the bisexual
community,
it managed to clock up over 13 million
hits in its first three years
online.
It offers a wealth of information for
bisexual users through a well
structured
online directory split into logical
subject areas, but may be of little
relevance to 100% gay or lesbian
visitors as it has a strict 'bi'
policy
when it comes to adding links to its
database. An interactive search
facility
will get you straight to the
information you're after. |
Gay
Times
www.gaytimes.co.uk |
|
| This

reports
from the gay scene and on online guide
that lists over 2,000 gay and
lesbian
friendly clubs, pubs, restaurants and
shops. There's some fun stuff on

the chance to vote for your ultimate
fantasy figure. |

Queer
Resources Directory
www.qrd.org |
|
| In
terms
of size alone this has to be one of
the most impressive gay sites there
is. Literally hundreds of pages of
information cover everything you
could
ever possibly hope to know about gay,
lesbian and bisexual issues,
lifestyles,
history and culture. The emphasis is
very much on simplicity, and its
almost
entirely text based interface means it
will work on every browser and
download
in no time at all. Easy navigation is
facilitated through an extensive
site tree or regular subject headings. |

|
| This
good looking site works along the same
lines as PlanetOut - it's an
online
lesbian and gay lifestyle magazine but
with a UK focus. The opening
page
of the site brings you the latest news
headlines and that's backed up
by
magazine-style content including
interviews and competitions. You'll
find
plenty of chat areas for both women
and men and a selection of personal
ads. The online guides to what's on at
the cinema, where to eat and
where
to shop are well worth a visit too. |
GayLife

www.gaylifeuk.com |
|
| GayLife
is
a great resource for the UK gay and
lesbian community. The site
