From: Chip Mitchell Subject: "The Dawn of Gay Rights in Latin America" Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 19:58:14 -0500 Friends: The non-profit Resource Center of the Americas has added a major section to its Web site. Called "The Dawn of Gay Rights," the section includes 12 news reports from across the hemisphere, several striking photo images, a gallery of lesbian-produced Bolivian graffiti, links to a dozen Latin American gay Web sites (check to make sure we include your group), and descriptions of two dozen new books on Latin American gay and AIDS issues (a detailed list of contents is below). We'd appreciate mentions in any print publications, and we'd *really* appreciate it if you added a link to us from any Web site or e-mail list. It could be phrased something like: "Learn about the 'Dawn of Gay Rights' in Latin America at http://www.americas.org." Thanks!
