Yahoo! launches
gay pride Web site

In honor of Gay Pride Month, Internet giant Yahoo! has compiled a comprehensive microsite highlighting global pride celebrations as well as LGBT-related services and resources available on the Yahoo! network. The microsite, which is sponsored by online travel company Travelocity, can be found at the URL events.yahoo.com/pride or by performing a Yahoo! search for "gay pride." It provides LGBT people with a one-stop shop for many gay resources, including travel and destination information, community-building tools, volunteer opportunities with LGBT organizations, original user content through Yahoo! blogs and Flickr photos, and pertinent content from other Yahoo! sites. The site was conceived and built by members of the Yahoo! LGBT employee stakeholder group. (Sirius OutQ News)
