(NOTE: We have attempted to create an inclusive, varied, and useful list of resources addressing the intersections between race and sexual orientation. This list is not definitive, however, and we invite our readers to contact us at GLSENCT@aol.com with additions and corrections. Further, we actively seek reviews of resources by those who have used them in various settings and lesson plans for their use. Finally, many items below are available through the GLSEN publication The Bookstore at http://www.atlasbooks.com/glsen/ or 1.888.822.6657. These are marked with a parenthetical asterisk and list price. Thank you. -Ed.)
