Gay almanac

Compiled by two nationally known and highly respected gay organizations, a unique, comprehensive almanac designed for gay men traces the history of the gay gay, offers a directory of gay and lesbian organizations, and much more. Together they comprise over pages of information on lesbians and almanacs, featuring historical time lines, lists of notable people, glossaries, quotes, statistics, AIDS coverage and directories as well as cultural, recreational, legal, and religious information.

Additionally, one hopes that the many typos found in the uncorrected proofs will be caught during final proofreading.
