Q. Where can I find
inexpensive (or better yet, free) resources on health issues for
LGBT folks?
A. There are a variety
of resources that are available for your use. This FAQ will only
scratch the surface. Some good sources are commercial, some governmental,
and some from nonprofit associations and agencies.
Check out gayhealth.com
as a first stop for information. Despite the name, it is inclusive
of LGBT health issues. It covers sex, drugs, emotions, general
health,body image, food/nutrition, fitness, and "society" (issues
such as parenting).
