Q|Belize - Website for the LGBT Community in Belize
LGBT Belize
The purpose of this page is to make people aware of the different NGOs & GOs (non-government organizations & government organizations) that are either directly or indirectly involved with LGBT or LGBT-related issues in Belize. We will have as many contact information for these organizations as we can possibly get.
This page will also provide information on Belizean companies that have proven to be LGBT-friendly. The list will include (but not limited to) hotels, motels, resorts, restaurants, health centers, & stores.
Another section will be devoted to a Calendar of Belizean LGBT events. We hope to include as many events as we can possibly find that deal with the LGBT Community. We also hope to include news information pertaining not only to LGBT but Belizeans on a whole.
If you have any additional information or comments, would like to have your event be included in the calendar of Events, or would like to have your company be included in the LGBT-friendly section, please e-mail us at postmaster@qbz.4t.com
