• Massachusetts Tenant Information online is fantastic. Or if you're not in MA, maybe TenantNet has some information for your state. They feature New York, for strange reason. *grin*
• If you're looking for an apartment in Central Massachusetts, I recommend The Worcester Telegram, and if you're looking in the Providence, Rhode Island, area, I recommend The Providence Journal.

Sexuality

• The soc.bi (Usenet newsgroup) list of Frequently Asked Questions
• The American Psychological Association.

If you still have questions, let me know. I'd rather that we talk about it than leave you feeling confused or upset.

Here are some fun and informative links:

• Why do same-sex couples want to marry? Here are the rights of married couples.
• The Queer Resources Directory is the classic site.
• Queer folks get asked a lot of questions. Someone made a revised list of those questions for heterosexuals.
• Consider, also, heterosexual privilege.

Sexual Assault

• The Sexual Assault Information Page is wonderful. It can probably link you with resources in your area.
• If you keep thinking, hearing - or telling someone - "Why don't you just leave?" then this list might help.
• In Central Massachusetts, you can call the Rape Crisis Center - even if you haven't been raped, they can refer you to other services.
• For supporters: Things You Need To Know When A Battered Person Calls For Emergency Shelter - this also has a list items to bring when you leave, in case you are considering leaving.
• Is this happening to you or someone you know? Read the Warning Signals of Abusive Behavior.
• I Cannot Remember All The Times is a poem that might help.
