Gay Teen Meeting Place

STATE BY STATE RESOURCES

NOTE: I did not compose this list. It was compiled by the LesBiGay Youth Resource Page . The link to the actual page where this list is found is here. Everything proceeding this point in the page was copied from their page - so give them all credit due.

UPDATE (1-7-2000): The LesBiGay Youth Resource Page no longer exists. I would like to thank bceagleguy for allowing me to post this information on my site. Also, he told me that some of these resources are old and outdated. He offered to update them for me sometime, but until then, be aware that some of these resources might be old and outdated. Thanks.

UPDATE (8-29-2000): Many of these resources are old and outdated. If anyone has the time to check these out, and get back to me about them, I'd greatly appriciate it. Thanks.
