Welcome!
Rainbow Resources of NH, Inc. and the Gay Info Line of NH
are proud to present this Winter 2010 Gay Lifeline guide to
the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT)
community of northern New England.
Our cover artist is Jean Adie, a generous volunteer. Jean, a
multi-media artist, designer and marketing consultant, is
available for a variety of creative projects by request at
[email protected]. A slide show of some of her work can
be viewed on www.templeofthesun.blogspot.com.
Many thanks to her and to all the other folks who help make
this all possible.
We hope you find Gay Lifeline both attractive and useful and
will send us your suggestions to further improve future
editions. We also encourage everyone to note any errors or
omissions they find here and report them to us. As always
we need volunteers to help with resource information,
including updates, deletes and new listings of resources.
Please email us with any corrections you can make, and also
if you would like to help.
You can order a spiral bound copy of this booklet at our cost
of $14.

Gay Lifeline
I
Introduction
The Gay Info Line of New Hampshire was the brainchild of a group of folks from the
southern part of the state. They developed the first database of GLBT resources and
manned a telephone in Nashua, giving out information to callers for ten years before they
disbanded. In the early 90’s CAGLR, the Citizens’ Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Rights,
took over the line and moved it to their Concord office. There Jim Bretz, Mandy Vernalia
and a new crew of volunteers took over, expanding the database, answering many
thousands of calls and printing two ‘hard copy’ Gay Lifeline directories for the community
by the end of that decade.
In 2000, the Gay Info Line moved into the new millennium with a new name, Rainbow
Resources of New Hampshire, Inc, and obtained 501(C)(3) status from the IRS. We put
our searchable database of resource information on the Internet at http://
www.RainbowResources-NH.org, and within a year our site was getting hundreds of hits a
month. In 2001 the database of information was expanded to include GLBT and allied
businesses of all kinds and the phone line was soon discontinued. In 2004, we produced
our first electronic Gay Lifeline, this PDF community directory, which is updated several
times each year. We will provide bound printouts of the current edition by mail for $14.
Almost all the work of Rainbow Resources is done by committed volunteers, but we still
have expenses which must be covered by community donations. Unfortunately in 2007
and 2008 we received far less than our annual expenses in contributions and only
continued by using up savings previously earmarked for technology upgrades. So in 2009
we went all electronic. Now all resources must provide an email address for RR to keep in
contact. No more fundraising snail mailings will be sent, We will soon be moving to a free,
community-based server running SQL.
Please consider making a tax deductible donation to help us keep this information current
and available. Many thanks.

Important Information About This Directory
This electronic document contains the entire Rainbow Resources of NH database of about
600 resources for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) community of New
Hampshire and neighboring parts of the adjacent states of MA, VT and ME. The
information is organized into 36 categories and these categories are presented in groups.
First are the many categories of GLBT and allied social groups of all kinds, then meeting
places and GLBTQ media, then professionals and service oriented folks, and finally the
resources you call for help, like crisis phone lines and domestic violence agencies.
Within each category resources are listed by state, by town and then listed alphabetically
by name. All the usual information about each listing is given--snail, email and internet
addresses, phone, fax and hotline numbers. Information about meetings, newsletters and a
short narrative description are included. Rainbow Resources gave each listing the chance
to identify themselves as GLBT. Although many GLBT’s chose not to identify themselves in
this way, those that did are indicated in the listings as ‘GLBT identified’. No assumptions
should be made about anyone’s sexual orientation because they are included in this
directory.
You can use the bookmarks in the PDF to go right to the category you want to look at. The
Category names are listed at the beginning of each section in large white letters on a black
ground.
Although every effort is made to keep this information up to date, some errors are
inevitable. Also, the information contained here generally was provided to us by the
resources themselves, and Rainbow Resources has not done any research whatsoever to
determine if anyone might have misrepresented their qualifications, interests or expertise.
So we encourage everyone to approach these listings with the same skepticism you would
use in any other new enterprise. By their inclusion in this publication these listed resources
have indicated their interest in working with the GLBT community; you must determine for
yourself if an individual or organization included here is likely to fulfill your needs.
Once again we encourage you to give us feedback about Gay Lifeline, about the
information it contains and also about your experience with the listed resources. We strive
to provide current, accurate and useful information for and about the community. Email us
at [email protected] or write us at the address on the previous page.

A "Bear" refers to a slice of gay culture
that changes over time. Generally Bears
are men who retain (or cultivate) body and

shaved-chest look), and are often tall,
heavy, husky, stocky, and/or muscular.
Bellies and Beef are Good. More than that,
Bears are relaxed, open, friendly,
no-attitude, welcoming sorts: think
"Friendly Good Ol' Boys." There is no
'expectaton' that you must attend certain
events nor boring organizational meetings.
