P-FLAG is a worthwhile organization that focuses on issues affecting the G/L/B/T
community, as well as the needs of their family members and friends. 
There are many websites that deal with religious and legal issues involving gay men and women.  Here are a few:
    
     Mel White grew up with the church while struggling with his own homosexuality.  His
      autobiography titled
Stranger at the Gate is an inspiring story.  He also has excellent
      websites (
Mel White's JusticeNet and Soulforce) that discuss his efforts to help
      "organized" religions see beyond their "blinders" about gay men and women.
    
     The
UFMCC (Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches) is a
       fellowship of Christians with a special outreach to the G/L/B/T community.
      
     The
Human Rights Campaign is very active in pursuing equal rights for the
      G/L/B/T community within the United States political system. 

    
Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund is also instrumental in securing equal
      rights for the gay community. 
QueerNet provides dozens of mailing lists for the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered  communities.
Gay.com has chat, news, shopping, and a whole host of other features - all connected to
the G/L/B/T community!
Huzbears.com is a great website for couples!
Lynn Ludwig attends bear functions around the country and takes excellent photos of the men that participate (and is a woofy fellow himself).  His website is Ludwigphotos.com.
The ManPics Directory gives a HUGE listing of sites on the Internet with pictures of men (G to XXX rated). 
For a wickedly funny view of the ultra-conservative religious right, be sure to take a look at Betty Bowers website.  And also the "church" she associates with -
Landover Baptist Church.  VERY irreverent stuff!
