Overall Rating

is a very good site for gays and lesbians seeking romance or a relationship. The additional content by virtue of being a part of means you get exceptional content, up to the minute news on real issues and very good service. The relative size of is a small drawback, since it's about one-third the size of , but it still offers a good cross-section of members. They could jazz up the look a bit, though. Navy blue? Boring.
