hey king i’m looking for good lesbian organizations to donate to, do you have any suggestions?
I am not an expert but here’s what I know about and a couple I found after a little searching. I tried to list both US and international, though unfortunately limited myself to those who had pages in English, because I couldn’t quickly verify stuff otherwise — I just did this during a couple mins downtime at work so it’s not even slightly comprehensive. Please feel free to add more or let me know if any of these are defunct.
