That's a very interesting site Wahm, thanks

The REnaiSsaince LESbian (abbreviated as "the resles") is a site aimed at lesbian/lesbian-friendly women (people, actually).

The idea is to have a multicultural, multiethnic, eclectic (hence the idea of using the term "renaissance") site covering different aspects of culture, something that we basically try to do through the site's electronic magazine ("ezine") called "The Renaissance Lesbian Ezine". The ezine has 7 sections: films, books, music, art, science, politics and a section that highlights solidarity/humanitarian sites.

Although the women behind "The ResLes" are not native English speakers (we are from all over the world), we feel that English has become the language of communication in the Internet, so this is why this site is published in this language. However, this does not mean that we are not proud of our corresponding native languages or cultures; our intention is merely to use a common language to communicate in the Internet.

Also, our idea is to keep an open, global, non-biased (by culture or by any other value, not even by our sexual orientation) mentality, always looking for those wide aspects of culture that make this world so richly diverse.

My partner and I have started a new website featuring lesbian greeting cards that we created and designed. We are a brand new company, and are really needing a lot of help to get the word out. Please check out our website whenever you have a spare moment, and let us know what you think ...[url]www.grrlgreetings.com

It's nice to see that gays, lesbians, and transgendered are appearing in more print and tv ad campaigns, but -- are they being depicted in a favorable light, or are advertising companies and ad campaigns still wary of homosexuals and tending to stick with stereotypical representations?

It's a mixed bag, really. Perhaps you'd be interested in the discussions and articles at The Commercial Closet:

The text below is taken from the site itself:
<I>The Commercial Closet is a unique, non-profit education and journalism project that proactively reaches out to ad agencies, corporations and the world-at-large to create change through reflection on its collection. This site will introduce you to over 750 worldwide sexy and surprising television and print ads spanning more than 30 years that reflect society?s changing view of the gay community, with marketers' best and worst efforts from around the world.</I>

The site also identifies some of the best (Miller beer) and some of the worst (Coors, McDonald's, Coca-Cola) ads of 2001.

An interesting read, with some product names too:
