The Intro / What is Coming Out Support News

What is the Coming Out Support Weekly ?

I took over the editing of this weekly newsletter for AOL's Gay and Lesbian Coming Out Support programs, when OnQ, the Gay and Lesbian Community Forum, managed that site. On Q merged with Gay.com and left AOL, and the chats and support groups migrated there for a short period, until they returned to AOL under the People Connection program. When AOL discontinued the Community Leaders program (the folks who managed the chats, message boards, and support groups), the newsletter (and some of the support chats) went independent. It was supposed to be a short-term assignment for me. I'm still doing it 8 years later, and the newsletter (available by email) has several hundred readers.

Full issues are emailed. If you want to subscribe, email OnQYB@aol.com and put "Subscribe COS" in the subject header. The newsletter mailing list is confidential; it will neither be shared nor sold.

Newsletter summaries will appear here each week.
