Resources for LGBTQ Issues

A dear friend of mine and I are speaking at Emory and Henry College in Virginia tomorrow night. As we went through the potential questions they were going to ask us, we realized that there was a need for resources they could go to to get answers to questions we didn't have time to answer.

Here is part one of those resources. More will follow.
