Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 14:59:49 -0700 From: Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Subject: GLAAD Needs Gay Youth Testimonial GLAAD is looking for testimonial from gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender youth on how the Internet has played a role in coming out or introduction to the gay community. GLAAD is also searching for youth whose lives have been affected by Internet filtering software, whether it be not being able to access news, educational information or support information about the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community to being thrown out or isolated by family due to an Internet filtering software's audit trail function. The information is being compiled for a research project. If you are interested in sharing your testimonial, please contact Loren Javier, GLAAD's Interactive Media Director, at javier@glaad.org. Also, when sending testimonial, please include your name (or a nickname), age and city and state in which you live. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) glaad@glaad.org TO REPORT DEFAMATION IN THE MEDIA - Call GLAAD's Alertline at 1.800.GAY.MEDIA or go to the GLAAD Web Site at www.glaad.org and report through our Alertline Online.
