1. Transgenesis Social Services (www.transgenesis.org/): This site focuses on the group that addresses the needs, social and otherwise, of the transgender community. Find out about support services, discover how to volunteer, and peruse an extensive list of resources.

2. Blackberri Café (www.blackberricafe.com): Although I’ve previously covered this site that’s strictly for Black girlz, it’s slightly revamped but still as cozy as ever. Check out the private chat room in the Mix and Mingle section or, depending on your interests, join a sister group in the Do Your Thang page.

3. The Official LL Cool J Web Site (www.llcoolj.com/): Yum! You could do a lot worse than stare at pictures of this hottie all day long—and, fortunately, you can do just that. (How you’ll hide your activity from the boss is another matter.) You’ll also find info regarding his biography and (surprise) his latest releases. However, you’ll also find a large number of links related to various charities. It’s like LL has a heart as big as his … feet.

4. Gay Coffees (www.gaycoffees.com): I’m not sure what makes coffee gay, but with names for blends like Fetish Beans and Gertrude’s Grind they’ll put some kind of spark in your day. Check out this site and find all about Beans for Queens and Homo Delivery.
