Canada's Gay Guide

Exhaustive research throughout the country in the last few months has made Canada’s Gay Guide the most validated directory of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, & transsexual (LGBT) resources Canada has ever seen. It organizes and indexes 5,000 resources in more than 250 cities. Entries are subdivided into over 340 categories (just like the Yellow Pages), including AIDS resources, archives, artists, art galleries, bars, book services and shops, counselors, distributors, Internet and Web resources, health services, helplines, mail-order, manufacturers, organizations, periodicals and publishers, radio and television stations, services, stores, sculptors, and suppliers.

Foundation for Equal Families

As an organization, the Foundation For Equal Families' goals are to:

LAMBDA Institute of Gay and Lesbian Studies

Canadian-based organization that promotes research into lesbian and gay issues and lifestyles for the purpose of public education.

Lesbian Mothers Support Society

Lesbian Mothers Support Society or LMSS is a Canadian, non-profit group which strives to provide peer support for lesbian parents and their children, as well as those lesbians considering parenthood. Through social functions such as potlucks and children's activities, lesbian families are able to share experiences and support each other in a positive environment. We also attempt to provide legal/medical/psychosocial referrals as needed.       

Some of the issues of interest to LMSS are the rights of non-biological parents, access to insemination for lesbians seeking to become parents, custody issues in lesbian family breakups, and equal treatment of lesbian families in society. We welcome input from lesbian parents anywhere who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with us. LMSS believes that knowledge is empowerment and so we maintain a small reference library of books, files of articles and essays, and a collection of videos. We can also offer limited access to the World Wide Web.
