Rafi's Favorite LGBT Sites



Being a family of lesbians and bisexuals, Rafi and her family frequently turn to the internet for information dealing with
Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals.

Here are some of their favorites.

(All sites in this section are for mature, open-minded readers. Unless specified, none carry adult material.
And before you get any ideas, remember that Rafi is a fictional character -- I do not have the same-gender lifestyle she has.)
