Here are some of the services the Queer Web project wishes to offer.
Queer Groupware
Groupware refers to related, integrated technology used in tandem for a specific purpose. Yahoo groups is currently used by a lot of queer groups: and combines email lists, file uploads and a shared calendar. Other groups use social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace to publicize their group
The queer web project is always looking for new people to help out!
We need all kinds of skills, from coders to PR people to directors to guide our progress.
Where we're at
Development is coming along nicely, but we're at a stage where some more data and input would be very helpful indeed. The site isn't at a usable stage, but huge bits of the development are in place.
The Queer Web Project aims to make a friendly, welcoming community, enabling communication and information sharing across a global community of queers, building bridges between disparate queer communities. We aim to tie together a number of unsatisfactory, unrelated web technologies the queer community currently uses in the absence of something specifically for us.
Original Plumbing is the premier magazine dedicated to the sexuality and culture of FTM trans guys. Not only are the guys hot, but the writing is good too. This magazine does a great job of showing the diversity of transmasculine bodies.
This is a fantastic comic-zine which goes over a summary of patriarchy, feminism, anarchy, and how they all interact. It’s funny, poignant, and bitingly witty. Also fantastic use of the term “jerk.” The comic is followed up by a discussion of ideas, which is well researched and laid out.
short doc blending humor and formal interviews explores the under-reported problem of a lack of gender neutral restroom spaces not just for transfolk, but also for genderqueers and anyone who expresses outside the annoying two-gender system.. featuring lynn breedlove, bryan burgess and melissa lawton.

This was one book where I didn’t have to try to cram myself into the stereotypical gender box in order to identify with the character I enjoyed most. Pronouns are not used at all when addressing Bailey, the main character. There are tons of bad romance novels, there are even a few gay and lesbian ones but there aren’t many about the relationships of individuals who live outside societal gender norms. Which is why this book rocks.
A website that covers world-wide anti-gay legislation. The Box Turtle Bulletin is a website that talks about various anti-gay laws and/or bills, etc. that are being passed world-wide. Personally, I like that fact that they publish word-for-word the proposed legislature, so you’re not just reading an opinion with a couple of quotes.
I think it’s important to know what’s up in the world, and this site promotes that sort of awareness.
Whether you are familiar with gender variance or are just starting to learn about gender identity and expression, Gender Spectrum Education and Training can help you create a more gender sensitive and supportive environment for all people, including gender variant and transgender youth. We will assist you in understanding gender in all its complexities and variations, at any stage of life.
We've created this site as a community driven resource directory -- and hope to make life easier by building upon local knowledge of transgender friendly providers, services and community groups. We're starting with a few categories but have major plans to expand. Please share this site with your friends (Facebook and Twitter).
If you're someone who provides services to trans, gender non-conforming people we welcome your input. You may add yourself or if you have concerns, additional info you'd like to share, email us.
The Club caters for all levels of swimming from beginners through to competitive swimming. You can
come along and do your own thing, for meeting people/social purposes or be coached either for personal
improvement and fitness or to enter swimming events around the world and/or ASA Masters Events.
Many members use the club for its social outlets and are not necessarily committed swimmers but enjoy
the unique ambience that the club has and are more involved in the social and volunteering opportunities
that the club generates.
First Sunday of the month, come to the LGBTQ Centre behind 8th Day on Oxford Road for Sunday lunch, nice people and Sunday papers. It's bring a dish, so please bring some food if you are able.
The cafe is primarily a safe space for queers and their friends. We take queer to mean people of all genders, sexualities, and sexes and who are involved in all kinds of relationship types. We started the Cafe out of a lack of safe spaces for queers to get cheap, vegetarian and vegan food and generally hang out and be well.
This group was formed out of a lack of unified information on queer activity in Manchester. Hopefully this can catalogue queer events going on, and be a good place for general discussion.
Info-sharing, skillsharing, help + advice for setting up your own DIY pride events wherever you live; queer food for thought
Thinking about taking part in the parade but wish it was like old times where marching for our rights came before entering as walking advertisements for greedy corporate sponsors and boistrous self-publisist gay charities?
Join us in declaring "Pride IS a Protest"!
Taking inspiration from Birmingham's amazing Pride is a protest event, there is now an organised group of queer activists working to ensure a similar event takes place during the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday 23 August 2008.
This website belongs to the Bradford Samba Band. We’re a society in the University of Bradford Union but we’re open to everyone: If you want to creatively protest the great injustices of the world, then you’re welcome here. If you’ve got rhythm, its a bonus, but its not essential. We’re always looking for new members, so please get involved.
Inspired by the Slingshot diaries, the Queer Web Project though it would be nice to have an iCalendar-importable "on this day" archive for your electronic diary.
This module needs a maintainer. Please feel free to contact the group owner and take it over!
