The following web site lists most countries in the world, the status of their laws regarding same-sex behavior, and the minimum age of consent. This data is only as reliable as the source material used by the webmaster. If you are planning to be sexually active with a same-sex partner, it would be wise for you to verify the information. See Homosexual rights around the world at: http://www.actwin.com/eatonohio/gay/world.htm

Support Group for Straight/Homosexual Marriages:
The Straight Spouse Network (SSN) is a support group for the straight spouse in marriages in which the other spouse is gay or lesbian. They have five goals: 1. to offer caring support in a group context; 2. to help women and men adjust to change; 3. to deal with negative emotions; 4. to enhance feelings of worth and personal identity; 5. to find positive self-image and new direction. They are also establishing an outreach program for couples who have recently begun facing the fact that only one of them is straight, and are developing an educational program to promote better understanding of homosexuality.

Religiously Based Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Resources:
We did maintain a list of individual support groups for many different faith groups, ranging from Atheists to Evangelical Christians to Unitarian Universalists.

So, we are listing a number of sites which maintain lists of gay/lesbian/bisexual support groups:

narrow isle." They also have a "Separate Church and
