Send A Queer Book to School
According to a recent study by GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Educators Network), 55% of American high schools do not have any LGBT resources in their library.
As the new school year starts, it's the perfect time to add needed materials to the shelves of your old high school's library. So, send a message and a copy of KINGS & QUEENS: Queers at the Prom or a book from GLSEN's list of recommendations.
Go to www.reunion.com and get your school's address. Then, if you want to send a copy of KINGS & QUEENS, head to www.amazon.com, search King and Queens by David Boyer. Or, if you'd like to select a book from GLSEN's list of recommendations, head to www.glsen.org . Don't forget to include a little note
HRC Helps With Back To School

Gay Yearbook Online
There's a website called GayYearbook that celebrates all the wonderful GLBTQ students of the past and present. Sponsored by PFLAG in Reno Nevada, www.GayYearbook.com is an online gallery. PFLAG stated, 'Our purpose is to show that: (1) GLBT teenagers aren't a new phenomenon. (2) GLBT youth aren't just statistics, but individuals. (3) GLBT youth look just like all other youth—and have, for generation[s] of yearbook pictures.'
