General Information & Using Frames

The "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer" Information Pages were initially developed in association with a web site containing the most information available on - Gay and Bisexual Male Suicide Problems - because it was believed that a wide spectrum of knowledge was needed to better understand sexual minority issues and often related youth suicidality. See "Warnings, Acknowledgments, Authors" for additional information.

You may access all information pages from here (below) but, for your convenience, the information is also placed in Frames. On the Left Side of the Frames, a list is given of the resource pages (shown below), and the Frames' section begins with the "Warnings, Acknowledgments, Authors" page. The "Resources Pages" in frames are also accessible as single web pages that may be helpful when searching for "Sexual Minority" information. These pages are:

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The development of these GLBTQ information web pages were made possible through the collaboration of Richard Ramsay (Professor, Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary) and Pierre Tremblay (independent researcher, writer, and GLBT children and youth advocate) who both recognize that often needed social changes occur as the result of knowledge availability and dissemination. Additional Information at: Warning, Acknowledgments, Authors.

These GLBTQ Info-Pages were located at the University of Southampton from 2000 to 2003, this being the result of a collaboration with Dr. Chris Bagley, Department of Social Work Studies, University of Southampton.

Graphics are compliments of Websight West. The Synergy Centre donated computer/Internet time to facilitate the construction of this GLBTQ information site. Both are owned by a Chris Hooymans, a friend, and former publisher of a gay & lesbian magazine in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Chris continues to offer his expertise whenever needed and he has supplied, free of charge, the hosting of the site - Youth Suicide Problems: A Gay / Bisexual Male Focus - where a smaller - GLBTQ Education Section is located.

Computer time was also supplied by Rick Reist & Glenn Lynas, and Glenn also supplied other forms of assistance.

Many thanks to Wendy Stephens from The Department of Communications Media, University of Calgary. She has communicated with publishers of many academic journals (an ongoing time-consuming process) for permission to reproduce abstracts from papers and studies on these GLBTQ information web pages.
