A few weeks ago, I posted a query about sources on language and
homosexuality. I received helpful replies from a number of people, and
have obtained several excellent sources of readings for my
course. Here are the names of people who sent stuff to me, and then a
list of sources.

There's a lot more out there than some of us thought!
Is somebody keeping all this in a closet?? ;-)

"In your summary, you might also mention the existence of OUTiL, a
mailing list for lesbian, gay, bisexual, dyke, queer, homosexual, etc.
linguists and their friends. Information about OUTiL is available at:
