What is BENT?

BENT is the place where disability and queerness meet head-on.

BENT is committed to bringing you one thing only: a mirror of your selves.

BENT is by and for cripgay men. Not every BENT feature will be written by a man who is disabled and gay, nor necessarily by a man at all. Writers of different identities and allegiances --women, straight writers, nondisabled writers, transgendered crips-- may have important things to say to us. When they do, you'll find that there's space for their ideas here.

BENT is the voice of cripgay men, but BENT also covers disability art and culture, gay and straight, to prove that our differentness and our need for inclusiveness can coexist. BENT was born of the cripgay experience, but BENT is not limited by the cripgay experience.

Welcome to The Gay and Lesbian Stutterer Webring

This Webring contains Homepages from Gays and Lesbians who stutter. I build up the Ring to get in contact with other Gay and Lesbian Stutterers and to build up a network to exchange experiences. Further I want to show others that they are not alone.

BEING BLIND AND GAY

Robert Feinstein

This article appeared in a French language magazine out of Montreal. This is the English version that was translated into French for the magazine. I hope that it will give you a better understanding of what my life has been like as a blind person who is also gay. If this article enables me to make some new friends who accept me for who I am, then it will have been well worth the writing! Please feel free to contact me at: harlynn@panix.com and my name is Bob. My guide dog's name is Harley.

Please note that I have a good long distance service, which makes phone calls and phone friendships very possible.

I want to thank Chandler and Tony (Chanton.com) for their continued support of my article, and for their understanding of how difficult and at times isolating, it can be for those of us who are gay and also blind.

Deaf Aztlan:  Deaf Latino/a Network

Deaf Aztlan:  Deaf Latino/a Network

Welcome to Deaf Aztlan null !

Finally! A home in cyberspace for Deaf Latinas and Latinos!

While this website is accessible to genté (people) throughout the world, it is a website that is primarily by, for and about the Deaf Latino/a community in the United States.

This site is just getting underway. If you know of a missing resource that should be here, please send it in!!

Since most Deaf Latinos / as in the U.S. do not speak, read or write in Spanish, this website will be published primarily in English. We may add a Spanish version in the near future. Links to Alta Vista Spanish translation service have been included throughout the website. Enjoy!

 

 

    History

    The Deaf Gay and Lesbian Center (DGLC) was established in March 1992 by Deaf Counseling, Advocacy, and Referral Agency (DCARA) and the United Way of San Francisco to serve the needs of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Communities throughout the San Francisco Bay area.

    Purpose

    Being members of two minority groups, Deaf and Hard of Hearing LGBT individuals face unique challenges not only in the larger LGBT Community, but also in the mainstream society. Language and the unique cultural identity of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities can compound issues of social isolation, oppression, discrimination, and inaccessibility of information. Advocacy, empowerment, and communication access help ensure Deaf and Hard of Hearing LGBT individuals to become equal contributing members of society.

    Mission Statement

    The Deaf Gay & Lesbian Center (DGLC) celebrates unity and diversity of the Deaf Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgendered Community. The Center offers advocacy and resources for personal growth, leadership, and empowerment within a safe environment.

 

Welcome to Deaf GLOW’s website!!!

What is Deaf GLOW?

Deaf GLOW is a group of deaf and hard of hearing folks and their friends serving the Western United States. Deaf GLOW stands for Deaf Gay and Lesbians of the West, thus, we have fondly shortened it to Deaf GLOW. Deaf Glow is associated with the Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf, a national organization for the deaf gay and lesbian population.

 

 

 

The first festival was held in 1997 in Seattle, Washington and subsequently hosted in Provincetown, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. The Deaf Lesbian Festival, which is held every 2 years in cities across the country, is not only a celebration of our double culture, "Identity and Pride: Deaf and Lesbian," but also to give the Deaf Lesbians an excellent opportunity to develop network, share information about the needs of the community, and to increase an effort to further our community across the country...
            ....... And the fourth festival will be hosted here in Austin on June 21 - 25, 2006.
