Pink Triangle is a blog for humanist LGBT people (or LGBT humanists, however you want to look at it). Most of the (mostly) daily posts don't concern sexuality, but, since religionists are always banging on about gays (it's the only thing they agree on!), sexuality gets its fair share of mentions. There are about half a dozen of us contributing.
