Reporting gay and lesbian issues

A new reference toolbox for journalists reporting on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues has been created by the US-based National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (http://www.nlgja.org/). The toolbox (http://www.nlgja.org/pubs/toolbox_intro.htm) provides advice on sensitive issues such as same sex marriages and hate crimes against gays. As the site says : "No journalist would cover a professional tennis match without getting an education in backhands, foot faults, player rankings and grand slams. But some reporters step into the world of lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people without taking the time to know what they're reporting about.
