Welcome!
Rainbow Resources of NH, Inc. and the Gay Info Line of NH are proud to present this
Fall, 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 multimedia artist,
designer and marketing consultant, is available for a variety of creative projects by
request at ganoonah@yahoo.com. Many thanks to her and to all the other folks who
help make this directory 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. In 2004 we discontinued our phone
line to concentrate on our electronic delivery of information, including this PDF
directory.
I have personally been the core of Rainbow Resources for many years and am
planning to retire at the end of this year. A new group of committed volunteers has
been found to take over this valuable resource and continue our decades of service to
the local community. Please consider helping.
Many thanks for your continuing support of this excellent resource.

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. Each resource is listed only once, and in the category of
their primary activity.
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.

previous page.

a concealed carry permit if you choose to
get one, and receive proper training in its
safe and legal use for self-defense. The
more people know that members of our
community may be armed, the less likely
they will be to single us out for attack.

please let us know that too. The work of keeping this information current falls to a very small group of people
who truly cannot succeed without the help of the community. Thanks for helping us.
