gay senior Gay Couples As Fit To Adopt As Heterosexuals: Study
The researchers said the findings, which are reported in the journal Adoption Quarterly, are important because it compared gay and lesbian and heterosexual couples.

opendoor Majority of Workers Still Hide Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity at Work
New `Degrees of Equality` report finds persistent negative climate for LGBT workers

A majority - 51 percent - of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers continue to hide their identity from most or all co-workers, according to a new report released today from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation that examines the real-life experiences of LGBT workers.  The report, "Degrees of Equality: A National Study Examining Workplace Climate for LGBT Employees," found that, despite significant advances in employment policies at major U.S. corporations, a majority of LGBT workers continue to experience a range of negative consequences because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.  Younger workers are even more likely to hide their LGBT identity - only 5 percent of LGBT employees ages 18 to 24 say they are totally open at work, compared to more than 20 percent in older age cohorts.  The report is available for download at www.DegreesOfEquality.org.

qbook Queerbook To Enter The Realm of Gay Social Media
The new gay social media portal is in development and looking for investors.

It is no secret that the GLBT community has embraced social media sites. Perhaps it is due to the ability to create a safe space for communication to take place, but also as a result of the market's general love of technology. My Space, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are all heavily infused with Gay and Lesbian groups and fan pages and although these mainstream sites do serve these needs, no one seems to have come up with a social media site for Gays that will really take off.
