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!
