this is a standalone post--one i'll be making every few months--to trawl the waters of the Fediverse for new LGBTQ+ resources to add to our wiki here on Beehaw. if you have one, shoot from the hip. all resource suggestions are acceptable (although i might be more choose-y with inclusion on better covered subjects and countries) as of now.

you can find our current repository of resources here

contributions are especially appreciated if you have resources outside of the following countries, which are pretty well represented already:

United States
United Kingdom
Canada
France
Germany
Mexico
Poland
Australia

contributions to the repository can be made two ways:

way one: making a pull request, if you have the technical know-how to make those. this can be done both on the repository itself and via the Edit this page button at the bottom. please describe the nature of your edits when you do this so we don't have to look over your entire edit.
way two: you can provide a suggestion in the comments below which we'll manually synthesize as we can.

if you make pull requests, please also try to provide a brief description of what your suggestions do and what communities and countries/regions they serve. this will make it easier to categorize them.

for research contributions, we're a bit more picky: provide a summary of the research's significance and its basic findings. we generally want the research section to be as to-the-point and bulletproof as possible. if you need an example of this scroll down to the Research section.

thanks

ANNOUNCEMENT: introducing the Beehaw LGBTQ+ Community Wiki (docs.beehaw.org)

hey folks, we're pleased to report the public release of the Beehaw LGBTQ+ Community Wiki! this is a fairly-comprehensive and ever-growing list of community resources and LGBTQ+ research you can refer to as needed.

the community wiki is hosted on our documents page with all of our site philosophy documents and is written in markdown.

some quick ground-rules on contributing:

suggested additions can be made two ways currently.
- way one: making a pull request, if you have the technical know-how to make those. this can be done both on the repository itself and via the Edit this page button at the bottom. please describe the nature of your edits when you do this so we don't have to look over your entire edit.
- way two: you can provide a suggestion in the comments below which we'll manually synthesize as we can.
for resources, please try to provide a brief description of what your suggestions do and what communities and countries/regions they serve. this will make it easier to categorize them.
for research, we're a bit more picky: provide a summary of the research's significance and its basic findings. we generally want the research section to be as to-the-point and bulletproof as possible.
if you find a dead or rotted link, please make a pull request to remove it (with a replacement if possible) or flag us here. we'll continually review the links as we possibly can, but actual users are going to be our main first line of defense here.

as we note on the top of the page itself, parts of the page have been adapted from the Global Transgender Resources Registry, the Tildes ~lgbt wiki (to which i was a previous contributor), and Emi’s blahaj.zone thread. we hope to build off of all of that work that's already been done at those places.

enjoy! more additions to the document will also be made throughout the day, so be on the lookout for those.
