The web can be such a weirdly wonderful place sometimes. For example, I wanted to find out if the Black Leadership Forum had a web site. So I typed those words into the location bar in Mozilla. (Lazy man's search; don't ever do that. Use a search engine. OK, I've done my librarianly duty. To continue ...) Now, the Black Leadership Forum is NOT, repeat, NOT a gay organization. But for some reason, all but one of the first 10 had to do with gay minority youth. And I was looking at this page on African American: gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender resources and thinking that I wish something like this had been around when I was young enough to need it. (Not that it would have done me a lot of good, deepinahearta New Mexico, but still, the concept that there was someone else out there my age that I could talk to would have been good to know.)
