This site offers statistics on homophobia and being a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered.

This is a not-for-profit corporation with diverse, international support. Friends include parents of lesbian and gay children, rabbis, priests, therapists, writers, community organizers, family planning staff, sexuality educators, AIDS activists, anti-oppression educators and diversity trainers, college students and their advisors, and lesbian, gay, and bisexual activists. We are a multicultural group focusing on learning about the relationships between homophobia/heterosexism and other forms of oppression and developing personal, cultural, and institutional strategies to educate ourselves and others.

Standing for Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination, the website is dedicated to fair and inclusive treatment of homosexuals.  It has links of how to get involved, educated, and how to lend support.  It’s a great place to start or continue research on the issue of gay rights.

Home to socially-concerned, issue-oriented original audio, video, and written programming, civilrights.org is committed to serving as the online nerve center not only for the struggle against discrimination in all its forms, but also to build the public understanding that it is essential for our nation to continue its journey toward social and economic justice.

This is a great resource for parents and teens alike because it is easy to navigate and has lots of information on it.  It relates not only to homophobia but other types of prejudices, information on those, and what you can do to stop them.  It has a particularly teen atmosphere to it due to the MTV affiliation but it is an excellent resource for anyone looking to educate themselves on the issues of civil and gay rights.

Standing for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, this is a good resource for those who have loved ones who are homosexual and are looking to take a stand against homophobia.  It has links to hate crimes, about educating what they are and how they can be prevented, and also links to civil rights and how they can be promoted.  It is a good place to continue research and get ideas of how you can get involved.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force works for the civil rights of the LGBT community, with a political outlook in particular.  It is a good place to continue research, to find out what is going on in your area in regard to gay rights and what you can do.  It is a bit more technical, not ideal for teenagers, but would be useful for adults.
