Program: QueerNet / Alan Turing Program (LGBT Focus)
The QueerNet / Alan Turing Program of the Online
Policy Group (OPG) focuses on online
policy issues of concern to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
community.
Projects
The QueerNet / Turing Program includes the following projects:
-
Online Service Provider Assessment (OSPA) project (LGBT component)
-
Ensuring access to LGBT content and for the LGBT community on the Internet
-
LGBT SWAT Team
-
Responding to online defamation against
the LGBT community
-
Safe Schools and Libraries project (LGBT component)
-
Ensuring that LGBT and all other students have fair and safe access to
educational materials.
-
Free LGBT Internet Services (QueerNet)
-
Free Internet services (email list hosting,
website hosting, domain registration, and colocation services)
by and for individuals and groups in the LGBT community.
The QueerNet / Turing Program has evolved from
groundbreaking work originating with
QueerNet
(which merged into the Online Policy Group in January 2001),
Digital Queers, and the
Gay and Lesbian Alliance
Against Defamation (Digital Queers merged into GLAAD in
January 1999).
One of the Online Policy Group's office locations is as a
tenant in the San Francisco
LGBT Community Center.
