Learn More
- Bilbiography - A great way to get involved as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people, or as heterosexual allies, is to learn more about our lives. Many communities have books in their public libraries, and cities like Madison and Milwaukee have excellent LGBT bookstores. Even local bookstores and national bookstore chains have great titles from which we can learn.
  
  Here is more of a professional bibliography of articles, mostly available in university libraries, that provides a somewhat more academic view of the psychology of LGBT people.
