Through one of the discussion boards I'm on I've found myself being in the position of giving a talk to a bunch of students in Sheffield about LGBT and faith on this coming Wednesday. As part of my presentation I have put together a resource sheet which I have decided to put on here as it may be useful. I've also updated my links with a section for LGBT type Christian groups. Note, many of these groups I have had contact with, but not all (a couple particularly out of choice because I don't do "gay rights" type stuff preferring the approach of groups like GCN).
