I received a note about this program recently and I'm happy to share it with my readers:
From the Out With Cancer website:
Out with Cancer is the worlds first program for Gay, Lesbian, BI and Trans men and women who are diagnosed with cancer. With Out with Cancer you can:
Create a circle of friends who share your diagnosis, or, simply, care about you
Write your own blog
Learn from or mentor others dealing with cancer
Post photos and profiles
Promote your own event or attend other members' events
Chat live in online support groups, clubs and one to one sessions
Make new friends...OutWithCancer is your place to connect -- how is up to you.
OutWithCancer is a Bi-phobia and Trans-phobia free zone. We're here about the cancer, and the connections we make. Not a member yet? Please click here to join Out with Cancer or push the button "Join now" below to apply! Membership is free. Questions? Please email: support@outwithcancer.com.
They also have a related blog:
The LGBT cancer project of the national nonprofit, Malecare, includes the OutWithCancer, and LGBT CANCER websites. Here, you will find patient and doctor written articles about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people diagnosed with cancer.
As the Oscar-winning documentary "Freeheld" and others have shown, a LGBT person with cancer often faces challenges beyond a heterosexual person, frequently with less support.
I encourage anyone who's life has been directly or indirectly impacted by this situation to check out this site and join the networking.
