Lesbian/Gay "Rights"

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (USA)
"NGLTF is the national progressive organization working for the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people." I REALLY like this site. They keep it updated, provide A LOT of good resources. A must visit!

LAMBDA Legal Defense and Education Fund (USA)
"The nation's oldest and largest legal organization working for the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV/AIDS." Very useful information, updated regularly, and clean web-design as well. That's the way I like it :)

Human Rights Campaign
"Working for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equal Rights". You have probably heard of them. Very active, and one of our most important groups, that you can be a part of.

Partners Task Force for Gay & Lesbian Couples
Lots of resources for lesbian and gay people. Great work!

EGALE - Equality for Gays And Lesbians Everywhere (Canada)
"Lobbying for Equality, Fighting for Justice in the Courts, Building a Communications and Action Network Across Canada." Keeps you updated on the gay/lesbian issues in Canada - very good.

Stonewall UK for Lesbian and Gay Equality
Stonewall is the national campaigning group working for legal equality and social justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals.




Lesbian/Gay Immigration

About.com - Immigration Issues
A huge forum community all about immigration issues. Become a member (if you're not one yet) and discuss your situation with people in the same situation, get or share advice. Very helpful!

The Lesbian/Gay Immigration Rights Task Force (USA)
"...is a coalition of immigrants, attorneys and other activists that addresses the widespread discriminatory impact of immigration laws on the lives of lesbians, gay men and people with HIV through education, outreach and advocacy and by providing legal services, information, referrals, and support."

Legit (Canada)
The Lesbian & Gay Immigration Task Force - seems very helpful. They provide you with information on how to go about immigration to Canada, will even send you a brochure.

Citizenship and Immigration to Canada
Seems official - for those who want to immigrate to Canada. But definately also check out Legit (above).

Lesben- und Schwulenverband Deutschland (Germany)
In German. Without a doubt, this site is the best one when it comes to lesbian and gay rights in Germany. A new law has passed in August of 2001 that allows same-sex partner immigration. This is mostly thanks to the LSVD, a very professional organization. The site will provide you with all the information you might need.

The Gay and Lesbian Immigration Task Force (Australia)
Information about the current legislation. What you need to know about immigration to Australia.

Stonewall Immigration Group (UK)
A voluntary organisation set up to campaign for immigration rights for same sex couples and asylum seekers.

A.R.D.H.I.S. (France)
About immigration to France. Do I need to say it's all in French?

International Gay & Lesbian Binational Couples Alliance
Great idea and it was very active there (but even way more at the closed, private forum) at one time, but these days nobody posts anymore. Unfortunately. Most members had a partner in the US and I guess it just got very frustrating, that the US leaders completely ignore the situation.
