These are the BF webpages we've found so far:
Nathan Jones' Blue Feather Page.
This is arguably the best Blue Feather page out there. A must-see. Lots of excellent resource links, including the national mailing list info. Definitely start here!
This page has all the pertinent info including the FAQ and the Caidan charter. There's a really spiff feather graphic, too. Follow the links through Max's personal page and there's a pirate, privateer and maritime history resource journal.
I just found this one on 22 March 1999, and it seems to be a wonderful place to find information and resources!
Resources and People
Esugenas' Annotated Male-Male Blue Feather Bibliography is now available. This is a rough, grabbed straight from the list, because as yet no viable html copies have been presented (for some stupid reason, nothing I've been yet sent actually worked, probably my fault).
An Online Guide to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans* History has some interesting historical articles.
TEAMS Middle English Texts has many same-sex stories in the original Middle English. They're not terribly difficult to read, and the introductions summarize the stories as well as give a bibliography for each. Of particular Blue Feather interest are:
Texts are linked to each intro. Thank Esugenas for finding this.
Robin Hood - gay? Discover what some historians have to say in this AP article.
A MS Works file of an article on gays & lesbians in medieval times, by Heinrich.
Captain Gwendolyn Gardner's webpage can be found here.
The Teen Support webpage is set up for gay, lesbian and bisexual teens.
Harper Laddie's homepage is here.
Teceangl is a herald and will help people with their names and devices. She offers discreet consultation, just let her know the gender of the name you wish (she makes no suppositions), dates and place. Or just ask for pointers, she's good at that, too.
The International Association of Lesbian/Gay Pride Coordinators, Inc. Here you can see what is happening in other places as far as Pride Celebrations go.
New - pictures!
