Mission Statement
GayTeenResources� Online is concerned with the online promotion and support of Sexual Minority Youth. This support consists in part of making available to youth the resources needed to develop their own independent projects, and in part in promoting existing resources. In addition, GayTeenResources� Online will develop its own projects geared towards the active support of queer youth. In specific, we will: 1. maintain a support site for sexual minority youth (www.gayteenresources.org)
2. make available resources (web space, cgi access, etc) for teens to develop their own resource projects.
3. raise money to keep by/for youth projects (including ourselves) on the net.
4. help existing sites with promotion (engine submissions, etc) and design
5. provide forums for the free exchange of information and ideas, including IRC chat, email lists, message forums, and other means. Standards & Censorship
GTRO does not believe in censorship. GayTeenResources Online believes the online medium is the best possible forum for the free exchange of opinions, culture and ideals between participants. However, GTRO will not be associated with certain activities. These include pornography, and hate rhetoric. Hate rhetoric not only includes bashing, but reverse bashing (reverse bashing is bashing of those considered to be bashers) as well. GTRO in all of its facets is a support organization ... use of GTRO-owned and supported resources to instead tear down others is strongly frowned upon. Accusations made without basis in fact through the forums carries a risk of legal liability. Despite the belief in freedom of speech, such announcements may be removed, despite the objections of the authors and/or webmasters. Accusations made with basis in fact should be referred first to the webmasters, before being posted elsewhere. |
