Although the focus at GAY is on humor, we also want to provide a forum for those
organizations who are providing support to the lesbian community.  The organizations
featured below have been great friends to GAY in its fledgling stages and we hope you'll
show your support to them!

You can visit any of the listed sites by simply clicking on their logo!

Orange Pride was formed to provide a venue for LGBT people, living in
and around Orange County, NY, to meet, socialize, increase awareness,
gain support and to promote unity and visibility in our community.







In May of 2005 a group of enthusiastic women met to explore the idea of
starting a Gay Community Group in Orange County, NY.  Realizing that
there was a serious void of visible, positive gay life in our communities,
this small but determined group of individuals held a meeting to
determine what they could do to fill this void.  Ideas were expressed and
plans made to initiate a few summer activities that would hopefully
create an interest in others.

With the hope of developing activities, communicating other events and
programs of interest in our region and creating a resource for support
and encouragement, Orange Pride took its first steps.  Where we go
from here depends on you.

okclesbian.com is the only web site in Oklahoma for
lesbian/bi/transgendered women.









The Oklahoma City web site was created by lesbians for the
lesbian/bisexual/transgendered women in Oklahoma. We realize that
Oklahoma City is lacking in ways for women to network with one
another outside of the clubs and church and it is our hope that our web
site will enable you to make new friends who have the same interests as
you. We do not wish to duplicate anything that other LGBT web sites in
OKC are doing.

Everything at okclesbian.com is FREE - free personals, free advertising,
etc.

web site may be used to help lesbian singles, couples, and families
connect with one another to find friendships, romance, love,
companionship, intimacy, relationships, and lesbian communities.

Visit Lavender Womyn and try the FREE personals - you never know who
you might meet. Many lifetime friendships and soul mates have been
discovered through Lavender Womyn. Be sure to check out the social
groups there, as well.
