Just to clarify for one of your commenters, my suggestions were meant more for the organizations that make up the gay rights movement and less so for LGBT Americans. By and large, these organizations do not have blogs and also rarely engage the blogs. I hope they will come around and engage with, not only LGBT blogs, but also other blogs in ways that help advance full Equality in our country. Best- Lane Thanks for referencing my blog posting for AlterNet.org.

That simply isn't true. There is a huge treasure-trove of GLBTQ blogs. More than any one person could keep up with. Just because someone, including Lane, hasn't read most of those thousands and thousands and thousands of blogs - including this one which doesn't show up on the blogrolls of the blogs I read, doesn't mean their authors are sleeping, less than adept, or ineffective.

The "blogosphere" has really invigorated our activism, connected us with other LGBT families, etc. I only wish I could blog more, act more... btw.. this blog has really turned into a great one!
