SASOD's Spectrum Health Net project

Spectrum Health Net is a project designed to provide holistic Information, Education and Communication health promotion materials primarily through web-based formats which include special pages for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. This project is supported by the Government/World Bank Guyana AIDS Prevention and Control Project (GAPCP), administered by the Health Sector Development Unit of the Ministry of Health, and has resulted in the development of this website and other supporting materials.

I am Guyanese birth and have lived in Canada since 1975. I marched yesterday in our first TRANS MARCH for human rights not only in Candada but also globally. I thought of my birth country as I marched and hope the Guyanese State will finally enact appropriate human rights legislation that protects all SEXUAL MINORITIES in Guyana, and, endorses all human rights legislation globally.

Hey all,

SASOD people - I just wanna say how mighty proud I am of you all for what you do,
and I don't think I have half the courage to do the work that you do, but I am encouraged.
Keep on building positive, strong communities and staying visible so that your visibility
then encourages others to choose to be visible as well.

And thanks for all the good stuff on this site...if more Guyanese can discover it through shared links
and so on that'd be great!

Best, best wishes

WJ

Greetings from Seattle Washington USA,

I am so happy that our GLBT Guyanese have SASOD working on their behalf, because when I was growing up in Guyana there were no resources for the GLBT communtiy. I am thrilled about this website and continued success in your efforts of promoting the well being of the community. My only regret is that I am not in Guyana at this time to help you all, however, in a few years I do plan to return home, in the meantime keep up the goo dwork.

Love
SCS

Hi,
I'm of Guyanese descent, living in the UK. Two years ago, I visited Berbice. I wish I could say I want to move back, but I could not take the level of homophobia -- the preaching on the ferry, the insidious whispers at the hair salon, the comments about the president. Although, I am heterosexual, I found the comment offensive and wanted to address the speakers, but I am sad to say that I did not have enough courage. I was afraid of being targeted. It takes a lot of courage and strength to do this work in Guyana, and it is so needed.
Stay strong!
Nalini
