	Gay Money: The Marriage Booby Prize! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The irony is that the marriage/divorce package-deal American-style may be the kiss of death for the incredibly creative and diverse forms of relationship we have developed.
		Straight marriage is all about yoking together Martians and Venusians long enough to have children; that's not us.
		We come from a history of partnership equality born in the trenches, of a love that's very close in nature to camaraderie and friendship, of pals and peers, buddies and brothers, soulmates and sisters.

	Harnessing the Power of Gay-Vague Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The LGBT community’s straight allies play a crucial role in areas like educational policy, such as advocating for gay-friendly books in school libraries, supporting gay-straight alliances in high schools and weighing in on issues like the right to wear a gay pride shirt on school grounds.
		Straight men are apparently buying their own clothes in greater numbers, a job that used to be out-sourced to their female partners.
		Gay leaders should develop the skills to tell the stories of our community—our achievements and the hurdles we continue to face—in order to demonstrate that gay rights are not hobbled merely by individual prejudice, but also by a persistent foe dedicated to halting the advance of basic human rights and dignity.

	Singapore gay equality movement - SgWiki
		The homosexual community in Singapore, like many other gay communities in the modern developing world, faces discrimination from both Singapore's culture and laws in that it is subjected to stigma and potential prosecution even for private, adult, consensual sex.
		Apart from PLU3, which is at the vanguard of the struggle for gay equality in Singapore and therefore the most visible, lower-key activism at the grassroots level initiated ad hoc by inspired individuals has led to remarkable developments in fostering gay groups and activities catering to specialised interests.
		Gay businesses- creative ventures such as fridae.com, the gay spa, pub, disco and entertainment industry, started by pioneering gay entrepreneurs, all of which provide employment and contribute to the vibrancy of the Singapore economy.
